Description
In a landscape shaped by poverty and unfinished grief, a young brother and sister are drawn into a search for meaning after a death that refuses to stay buried. As Arabel Ajany Oganda returns from Brazil following the loss of her brother, the story gathers momentum through the voices and choices of three mischievous boys who try to pursue justice while navigating the harsh limits of their world. Blending mythic echoes with lived history, the novel explores how legends take root, how the past is rewritten by those who survive, and how war’s violence lingers long after the fighting ends. With Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor’s lyrical, spellbinding style, *Dust* turns a personal quest into a haunting meditation on memory, responsibility, and the cost of being left behind.
