Who Will Catch Us As We Fall by Iman Verjee in Paperback

As they grow up in 1990s Nairobi, Leena and Jai are taught to see a land of great potential and opportunity, despite the racial tensions and cultural taboos that permeate their surroundings. However, as they come of age and explore a world beyond their tight-knit East Asian community and protected, gated compound, they uncover a nation divided by deep ethnic loyalties and on the verge of something sinister. In a dangerous game of corruption and conspiracy, Leena and Jai become entangled with crooked law enforcement, unsavory salesmen, sex workers, and unconventional artists. As the city tightens its grip, a web of power and deception is exposed, and the two must navigate through a changing Kenya filled with love and politics. Verjee's expertly crafted characters provide a poignant and complex portrait of a family torn apart by national politics and prejudice.
