Blossoms of the Savannah is a riveting account of two sisters, Taiyo and Resian, who are not only on the verge of womanhood but also torn between their personal ambitions and the humiliating duty to the Nasila tradition. Their relocation to their rural home heralds a culture alienation born of their refusal to succumb to Female Genital Mutilation and early marriage.
In pursuit of the delicate and elusive social-economic and cultural balance in Nasila, Ole Kaelo - the girls' father - is ensnared by a corrupt and sly extortionist, Oloisudori Lonkiyaa. To extricate himself, Ole Kaelo sends his daughters into a flat - spin labyrinth from which they have to struggle to wriggle out.
