Well, it’s way too late, but I finally finished Petals of Blood (and what a disappointment it turned out to be!) See https://anzlitlovers.com/2018/05/13/petals-of-blood-by-ngugi-wa-thiongo-bookreview/

Oh dear – not one for me either. I’m glad it wasn’t just me who struggled with a book from 1977…..

It really did surprise me. It’s not often that I take issue with books written by someone as eminent as he is!
