Mission by Philip Spires
Mission is a new fiction book set in 1970's Kenya.
"Mission is set largely in mid-1970s Kenya. Five characters, in five chapters each with several scenes, see a series of events from their own perspectives and thus influence one particular event to which individually they react differently. Four chapters are set in 1970s Kenya, but one, placed centrally in the structure, is thirty years on from the others and is set in London. The novel attempts to deal with the concept of identity, seen through filters of poverty, religion, politics and, underpinning everything, an idea of justice, examined from the perspective of each character’s individual, perhaps personal motivation, or mission."
