Down River Road — Meja Mwangi

Ben is a man on the move - in bars, in night clubs and in seedy pubs down Nairobi's River Road. On one of these occasions he meets Wini, a single mother trying to make it in the big city. They live hard, as man and wife, for a while, surviving at the very edge of squalor, until Wini escapes abroad with her boss leaving her baby son with Ben. When Ben joins up with Ocholla, his bar-crawling, construction-site buddy, action, humour and more characters come into play. Mwangi's treatment of serious situations makes an unforgettable impact.
