Pheroze Nowrojee's family came to Kenya in 1896 to work on the railway. In rich, layered prose, this book examines how that voyage from India became a Kenyan journey, how the railway became the family's own journey as Kenyans. Against this backdrop of the family's story, the book reflects on Kenya's history over the last hundred years and the chequered Asian African story within it. The family story interweaves with the country's major events, including the building of the Uganda Railway with indentured labour from India, the First World War in Kenya, the Emergency, independence, and the 1982 coup attempt, to result in a book that offers fresh insights into the national story.
