The River Between is the story of a society caught on the horns of a cultural dilemma. Through the protagonist, Waiyaki, a typical African elite at the onset of missionary teaching, the reader is taken through the pangs of conflict that come with change. While the new ways are equated with progress, the folk customs are so strong that they threaten to destroy whoever defies them.
"...an almost wordless love story that avoids pseudo-nobility while remaining proudly and distinctively African."
— The Guardian
