A moving, poignant story that fully comes alive in the trauma of post election violence of Kenya, but where the real power and tension can be found is in the truths, half truths and lies that shape its central characters. --Mark Goldring, Chief Executive of Oxfam UK

Compelling, evocative, sharply observed and exquisitely written. --Amanda Jennings

Inner turmoil, unreliable memories, lies and secrets: Shelan Rodger writes about relationships and identity with a truthfulness we find hard to face up to - and she's very good at it. --Aidan Hartley, best-selling author of The Zanzibar Chest

Présentation de l'éditeur

Haunted by a tragic childhood accident, Chala's whole life has been moulded by guilt and secrets. After the death of her stepfather, who took his own secrets to the grave, Chala re-evaluates her life and volunteers at a Kenyan orphanage, where she gets caught up in the turmoil of the post-election violence that took over a thousand lives in 2008. But, although she can walk away from Kenya, she cannot walk away from herself... With a poignant insight into Kenya's recent crisis, Yellow Room is a drama that explores the power of secrets to run, and ruin, our lives.
