Petals of Blood by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o   Introduction :- Ngugi wa Thiong'o's novel "Petals of Blood" delves into the intricacies of Kenya following independence and is a potent and politically charged work. The 1977 novel, which is set in the made-up village of Ilmorog, centres on four main characters Munira, Abdulla, Wanja, and Karega whose entwined paths highlight the effects of capitalism, corruption, and colonialism on Kenyan culture.
