The Long-lasting Tree Summary
A bloody resistance against colonial invasion that tears Seme’s indigenous leadership apart marks the entry of a strange culture into the clan. Osayo, the priest, seeks to protect the clan’s religious system from erosion by the Blue-eyed (colonists). He, however, has to face off with a few loose canons, including his own son who escapes to a mission center far from home and ends up falling in love with a convert. In the meantime, a terrible plague breaks out in the clan, killing animals and people and leaving the land barren. Coupled by a misunderstanding of concepts in the new faith propagated by the Blue-eyed, a longstanding rift and blame game emerge between the converts and the conservatives, and spuns into a cutural marriage. Soon afterward, Osayo dies and his son, Okayo, realizes he has a greater role to play. The supernormal powers of the clan’s aboriginal religious tree are stolen by a witch in line with a prophetic myth. And in a painful and tumultous mission to reunite the two conflicting religions of Seme Clan and limit the Blue-eyed’s influence, Okayo puts his front foot forward in combating witchcraft so as to have the tree’s powers in safe custody, and protect good from being superseded by evil.

The Long-lasting Tree Reviews (Goodnovel)

This book is highly educative. For someone like me who studies cross-cultural communication, I find it quite important. I’m learning a lot concerning the culture of the Luo tribe of Kenya and how they responded to the western culture, religious conflict and quite a lot to do with relationship. ?

The writer’s use of vivid discription and humour has put the novel at some length. Each theme covered is thoroughly tackled. The novel’s uniqueness is undoubtable. I’d give a ?.

A book to pick from the shelf. Felt i was reliving times here, those wonderful moments in the history of a people. The Blue-eyed’s intention with the bell and the tree’s inexplicable powers are itchy… felt like I just wanted to know it all. This is a five-star novel, can’t hesitate to say. ???
