Miracle of Remera

Prof Francis Imbuga is best known for his satirical plays. But reading his latest novel, Miracle of Remera, one is left without doubt that the writer is equally a good novelist. This is the second novel on his long list of works, the first one, Shrine of Tears, having been published in 1993. The Miracle of Remera is a simple, loaded story. It is a story of the ravages of HIV/Aids particularly in Africa, where it has struck both rural and urban areas with the same vengeance.
