In this story, I want you to meet Kiru, the Bucolic Boy of the African Savannah grasslands. Kiru falls in love for the first time during the period of African social and economic modernization, which brings him nothing but misery and discontent. He is physically ill-treated by his step-family and, worst of all, sexually abused by both a step-brother and a step sister. On several occasions, Kiru disrupts his sister's love affairs and grasses on her. He pays for the misdemeanor dearly. Through his hero Ebiso, the main character in a traditional legend told to him by a prolific, elderly story-teller woman, Kiru learns that to succeed one needs to overcome serious life-threatening challenges. Do all these experiences form Kiru's adulthood character and outlook to life?
