I feel like I was there with Kamua, even my knees hurt for him. After the news today of Osama bin Landen's death, I can't help drawing a parallel to 9/11 victims, also nearly 10 years ago. I can't imagine living with that physical and mental pain. I hadn't realized the Kenyan victims were never compensated. The best fiction teaches us about life.Sarah Laurencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187452933782537299.post-28645789653746145262011-04-28T21:11:11.589+02:002011-04-28T21:11:11.589+02:00Thank you so much Anengiyefa.Thank you so much Anengiyefa.Mama Shujaahttp://www.mamashujaa.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187452933782537299.post-15072747523259535642011-04-28T20:26:09.975+02:002011-04-28T20:26:09.975+02:00Wonderful stuff.
