We Are the Water People: A Short Story | Troy Onyango

2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read

From critically acclaimed author Troy Onyango comes a dark, suspenseful tale of spirits bearing witness to a crime that rocks an island community, based on the Luo legend of the water people.
When fishermen on Nam Lolwe (commonly known as Lake Victoria) return with the body of a young boy found inside the sack, a close-knit island is thrown into mourning, and they all suspect foul play in the death of the child. But who could have committed such a terrible crime, and why? To discover the truth, the islanders must rely on the water spirits beneath the lake's surface - the only souls who serve as witnesses to the vile act.

We Are the Water People: A Short Story | Troy Onyango

pick

This is a short, compact, complex story about the death of a child in a Kenyan village near a lake. There are multiple storylines so hang on tight as the tale progresses at a sometimes dizzying pace. The “water people” reveal who killed the child, but alas there‘s much more to the story. A sad and surprising ending. #foodandlit #readingafrica2022 #Kenya

Sapphire What do you think? Do you find the audible originals to be quality? 2y

Texreader @Sapphire Very much so. Kenneth Branaugh narrated Heart of Darkness, which is free for Audible subscribers and he made it very entertaining 2y

Sapphire @Texreader I love Kenneth Branaugh! 2y

WJCintron I listened to this one at the beginning of the year. I loved the way it was narrated. 😃🙌 2y
