Dust by Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor

5.0

A wall-to-wall gorgeous reflection on the redemption of colonial, post-colonial, and family sins. It helped that I knew Kenya a bit, much as it helps to know something of the deep South when reading Faulkner. In fact, [b: Light in August|10979|Light in August|William Faulkner|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1355360091s/10979.jpg|1595500] isn't a bad comparison to Dust: Both break up the surface of their storytelling with high modernist temporal tricks, and find more redemption in suffering than would have seemed possible at the novel's outset.
