- Synopsis
- In Ripples in the Pool, pioneering author Rebeka Njau depicts a love affair between two women and the futile fight for female independence.A rich, modern woman, Selina has happily embraced the independence of the city and looks forward to starting her new life with her husband, Gikere. Yet when his mother implores them to return to their village, Selina's own happiness comes under threat.Unexpectedly, Selina finds comfort in the affections of Gikere's younger sister, Gaciru. Distancing herself from a marriage that has become increasingly violent, Selina falls deeper and deeper into a maddening love affair with ruinous results...Groundbreaking in its time, Ripples in the Pool still has resonance and impact today in its portrayal of forbidden love in an intolerant society.
