      abstract = {"Set in the wake of the Mau Mau rebellion and on the cusp  of Kenya's independence from Britain, A Grain of Wheat  follows a group of villagers whose lives have been  transformed by the 1952-1960 Emergency. At the center of it  all is the reticent Mugo, the village's chosen hero and a  man haunted by a terrible secret. As we learn of the  villagers' tangled histories in a narrative interwoven with  myth and peppered with allusions to real-life leaders,  including Jomo Kenyatta, a masterly story unfolds in which  compromises are forced, friendships are betrayed, and loves  are tested."--Publisher.},
