      About This Book

      DIFFERENT WINGS is a tale of a clandestine friendship between two spirited girls, one African, one English, in colonial times. As they explore the challenges of their environment and their mythologies, they experience the contrasts between attitudes to birth, death, danger and old age, which seem to wholly favour the indigenous culture. The theme takes a Swahili proverb: Kila ndege huruka na mibao yake â€" every bird flies with its own wings and it was born from deep affection and respect for desturi. And what of their dreams for the future.
