"Originally published in Kenya as Kenda Mũiyũru by East African Educational Publishers Ltd, in 2018."--Title page verso.
In this reimagining of an old Gĩkũyũ fable, the founding of the Gĩkũyũ people of Kenya is retold from a feminist perspective. It chronicles the adventures of the daughters of the Gĩkũyũ founders, ten demigoddesses known as The Perfect Nine, as they lead ninety-nine suitors on a quest to win their hands in marriage. -- adapted from jacket
