Overview
NAIROBI, May 21 (IPS/GIN) -- Bespectacled 73-year old Rebeka Njau may have shrunk with age: her slow, cautious steps are evidence of her body's frailty, but she still burns with more passion and vigour than most women half her age. It is 28 years since Njau released her first highly-acclaimed novel, 'Ripples in the Pool', which won the East African Writing Committee Prize. The pool in the book symbolizes the tragedy that befalls several elite urbanites - a thief, a prostitute, a hospital assistant - who return to their village hoping to change it. \"I welcome 'The Sacred Seed' because of the boldness with which Rebeka attempts to tackle sensitive issues close to my heart, like gender violence, manifested in rape,\" says Njau's childhood friend and pioneering educationalist Eddah Gachukia.
