Book Review: Petals of Blood by NgÅ©gÄ© wa Thiong’o

Image
Reviewed By Matilda Phiri There are books that entertain us, and then there are books that haunt us — that sit with us long after we close the final page, whispering questions that pierce the heart and stir the conscience. Petals of Blood by NgÅ©gÄ© wa Thiong’o is one such book. It is not a mere novel; it is an awakening. Reading it felt like walking through the wounds and dreams of a continent still learning how to breathe after centuries of suffocation. When I first opened the pages, I expected a story about post-colonial Kenya, but I found a reflection of Africa itself — a continent full of promise yet bleeding from betrayal.

Christmas Season: A Time to Enjoy, Reflect, and Live Right

  The Christmas season is a special and meaningful time that calls us to slow down, enjoy life, and take genuine care of one another. In the middle of busy schedules, loud celebrations, and social expectations, Christmas gently reminds us of what truly matters. In my opinion, when we rush through this season without reflection, we miss its greatest gift. Christmas is a season of sharing. Families gather to share food, stories, laughter, and memories. Communities come together, and even strangers find reasons to smile at one another. Sharing does not require wealth; it requires a willing heart. A simple meal, a kind word, or a helping hand can change someone’s Christmas entirely. Food is meant to bring people together, not to promote waste or competition. Let us eat, enjoy, and be grateful, while remembering those who have little. Love stands at the center of Christmas. It is a time to forgive old wounds, restore broken relationships , and choose peace over pride. Many people carry...
