Starting today, readers anywhere in the world can buy the award winning novella, Terrorists of the Aberdare, from Barnes & Noble for only $4.99. Yes, that is the right price.
All one has to do is click here.
The novella won the Wahome Mutahi Literary
Prize in 2010 and was First Runner-up in the Jomo Kenyatta Prize for
Literature in 2011.
Readers unfamiliar with the work might be asking, what is Terrorists of the Aberdare all about?
Well, it is a love story. No kidding.
It is also a story of heartbreak, of a man striving after an ideal that turns out to be much too high and all too costly for him. But authors are not always the best people to speak about their works.
Alphonce Shiundu of the Daily Nation newspaper read the book some time back and wrote the following review.
Dr Mike Kuria of Daystar University, Nairobi, was reading the novella at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport not so long ago and recorded his unique experience here.
The book was launched in Kenya in 2010 with the support of the Goethe Institut, Nairobi. Dan Whipple, an American living Kenya, was one of the readers who attended the launch and wrote the following report.
There are readers who will ask: "How do I get to buy and read the e-book?"
If you own a PC, Mac or iPad, all you need to do is go to the Barnes & Noble Web site and download the right app for your computer. You will also need a credit card to pay for the purchase. Once you pay for the book, it will be downloaded to the Nook app on your computer and viola! you can dig your teeth right into it.
Too bad the author can't autograph the e-book but trust some genius to come up with an app for that one of these fine days.
But we say too much.
Enjoy your reading! And feel free to share your thoughts.
