Read about the pressures faced by African immigrants to the West in their efforts to fake success rather than return home.
Esther represents the typical Kenyan immigrant with dreams of making it big in life by seeking all means to go abroad, thus escaping the excruciating poverty back home. But alas, life in the United Kingdom isn’t all rosy; she soon finds herself in a catch-22 situation whereby she hates the dirty jobs and the life she is forced to lead abroad but cannot return home. The characters may be fictional, but they depict the pressures and events that the author has witnessed first-hand in her many years abroad.
