When you stood in the valley, the two mountain ranges would cease to be sleeping lions united by the common source of life, and would become two adversaries... like two rivals ready for a life-or-death struggle for the leadership of this desolate region. . The River Between, one of the striking novels of Kenyan writer Thiong'o, one of the most important names of African literature and a candidate for the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature, tells the story of the Gikuyu people living in the mountain villages of Kenya. The story, which takes place in the early days when the white man settled in Kenya, also has a historical texture that mirrors the beginning of the colonial period. The novel, which tells the story of the young Waiyaki who tries to unite the Gikuyu people who are caught between the contradictions that come with the white settlers, two religions, two hills, two different life wars, sheds light on the history of Kenya, like the author's other works, and has a strong impact on the reader with a striking and deep fiction and language. It also manages to create an impact.
