Sinopsis

The fog comes towards my mother&rsquo,s village early in the morning, a floating mass that moves towards the hillsand vanishes in the blue sky. Then we see a beautiful view of the Sigor Valley below, a vast plain of game country that stretches as far as the eyes can see&hellip,After leaving England with a double fi rst from Oxford University, Susan Robinson&rsquo,s father moved to Kenya to work for the colonial government. Her mother was Pokot, from a small village of grass-thatched houses on the African plains.As Susan and her siblings grow up in the knowledge that they are half-white, half-black, they struggle to establish their identities in a society that can be ruthlessly cruel to outsiders. Emotionally, intellectually and culturally they are torn between their mother&rsquo,s and their father&rsquo,s worlds. This is the story of their survival and their journey to freedom in the rapidly changing world of the 1960s.Caste in Half is also a hymn to the beauty and majesty of Kenya, conjuring up vivid images of the country&rsquo,s incredible landscape, flora and fauna. Written with great passion and a profound awareness of a way of life that has now passed into history, it is a memoir that will haunt you for a long time to come.
