The Havoc of Choice by Wanjiru Koinange
5.0
Mix a political Thriller based on true events with a complex family drama and you get this breathtaking, pageturning hell of a novel.
This book is intense! Shame on me that I knew nothing about the Kenyan elections in 2007 and their aftermath, but I also knew very little about Kenyan family life as well. But “havoc of choice” intend not to educate but to put the reader through the emotions, the struggle and the devastation.
But I do the novel no good if it sounds only dark in my description. Because there is light: in the well written characters, the details, the motions of the storyline.
It is a recommendation for every reader who wants to be emerged while reading, to broaden their horizon, to experience new perspectives. Great read.
