THE RIVER BETWEEN
Book ID/图书代码： 10581011B48482
English Summary/英文概要： The River Between explores life on the Makuyu and Kameno ridges of Kenya in the early days of white settlement. Faced with an alluring new religion and ‘magical’ customs, the Gikuyu people are torn between those who fear the unknown and those who see beyond it. Some follow Joshua and his fiery brand of Christianity. Others proudly pursue tribal independence. In the midst of this disunity stands Waiyaki, a dedicated visionary born to a line of prophets. He struggles to educate the tribe – a task he sees as the only unifying link between the two factions – but his plans for the future raise issues which will determine both his own and the Gikuyu’s survival.
The River Between explores life on the Makuyu and Kameno ridges of Kenya in the early days of white settlement, providing a full narration of the effects of colonialism. Set in the late 1920s and 1930s, it depicts an unhappy love affair in a rural community divided between Christian converts and non-Christians.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 书中所描述的是早期白人移居肯尼亚马口鱼（ Makuyu）和卡梅诺（Kameno）之间的生活。面对独具魅力的新宗教和风俗的涌入，当地居民既兴奋，又无法适从。于是，有人开始追求信仰，有人追求部落独立，因此代表中立的先知人物应运而生。他唯一保持双方和谐的方法即尽力开化部落人民，使他们能够识大体明事理，为国家兴亡负责。(XJJ)
