Produktbeschreibung

In Unexpected America, Ms. Warama leaves Kenya in a huff headed to the United States where she does not know a soul. From the first day, she realizes she has to learn to live all over again in a new culture she knows nothing about. Culture shock and loneliness debilitate her until she meets "Mr. Savior" who becomes not only her savior but also her lover and abuser.

Before long, money runs out and Ms. Warama has to do housework and babysit to raise money to buy a ticket back to Kenya. Meanwhile, she keeps her tribulations from her family and friends as the idealized American lifestyle turns into a mirage, which Warama plods along like one tethered, hoping her persistence pays off.

Autorenporträt

Wanjiru Warama was born and raised on a British colonial farm in Kenya, where she grew up in the 1950s and 1960s. Her world was devoid of books, hence her dedication to writing autobiographical and historical stories about peasant farmworkers, stories that would otherwise go untold.
