Produktbeschreibung
My Skinny Cow, set in rural Seito which slowly urbanizes and brings a new order, is the captivating story of Asiago and Obiri from their youth to old age. The two work hard in school to become heroes and beacons of hope for the future of the community. The reader is taken through a rich cultural heritage, epitomized most vividly by the community's wedding tradition, which leaves the reader yearning for more. Even with the old striving to preserve the lifelong glorious cultural traditions of the people, modernity comes with a price. The emergence of an all-knowing clique of youth threatens the community's future; what with disputes between the traditional local elite and the youth determined to have their way with the societal changes they desire. Danger lucks either way: the rush to modernize at the expense of tradition and the desire to preserve tradition in the face of modernization. Which way for Seito? You, the reader, tell us!
