Product details
Petals of Blood is a transformative novel set in post-independence Kenya, following four main characters—Munira (a teacher), Karega (an activist), Abdulla (a war veteran), and Wanja (a resilient woman surviving hardship)—as their lives tangle in the rural village of Ilmorog. Seeking help from indifferent authorities, they lead villagers to Nairobi, exposing political corruption and betrayal as Kenya modernizes and develops.
The story begins with their arrest for the murder of wealthy businessmen, an event the narrative unravels through flashbacks.
Through their personal struggles, the novel critiques the deepening inequality, exploitation, and capitalist greed that engulf Kenya after independence.
Themes include political corruption, lost ideals, exploitation of land and people, broken promises of independence, gendered struggle, and the endurance of hope and resistance.
Petals of Blood is both a detective story and a political allegory, weaving personal fates with Kenya’s national dilemmas, and remains a foundational African novel for its passionate call for justice and social change.
