About Samuel Kahiga
The Girl from Abroad by Samuel Kahiga
The Girl from Abroad is a deceptively quiet novel that uses the simple premise of a young Kenyan woman's return from overseas to excavate the fault lines running through post-independence Kenyan society. Samuel Kahiga — co-author with Leonard Kibera of Potent Ash — demonstrates here the same sharp eye for social detail and psychological nuance that marked their earlier collaboration. The novel explores how the experience of living abroad changes a person in ways their family and community cannot fully accommodate, and how the gap between those who leave and those who stay becomes a metaphor for Kenya's wider struggle between tradition and modernity.
