    In Something Torn and New, Ngugi explores Africa's historical, economic, and cultural fragmentation by slavery, colonialism, and globalization. Throughout this tragic history, a constant and irrepressible force was Europhonism: the replacement of native names, languages, and identities with European ones. The result was the dismemberment of African memory. Seeking to remember language in order to revitalize it, Ngugi's quest is for wholeness. Wide-ranging, erudite, and hopeful, Something Torn and New is a cri de coeur to save Africa's cultural future.

    As Aidan and his young family struggled to build a farm from scratch, they had run-ins with leopards, cobras and their new neighbours. They drank a great deal and he crashed the car in the mud miles from anywhere. Claire had a miscarriage and then nearly lost their son before he was born on a long, dusty race to the hospital on Mt. Kenya. Aidan grew up on a farm in Tanzania and thought he had farming in his blood, but nothing prepared him for his enormous struggles. Starting literally with nothing, he learned more than he ever imagined he would from the Africans who helped him along the way: men like Fundi Kariuki, a mason, carpenter, plumber and electrician who can construct a perfect 12 metre chimney that won’t smoke a house.Wild Life is structured in seasons, as life is lived on the farm. It is an extraordinary book, sometimes heartbreaking and sometimes hilariously funny with the playfulness of Alexander McCall Smith and the distinctive punch of Alexandra Fuller, and guaranteed to make you think twice about giving up everything for the rural life.
