Confessions of Nairobi Women
by Joan Thatiah
‘Confessions of Nairobi Women’ is a collection of thirteen true candid life stories told to Joan Thatiah. The stories are as awe-inspiring as they are heart-wrenching.
There is a story of a woman who confesses to nursing thoughts of wanting to kill her husband, another of a young woman whose whirlwind romance ends with her behind bars, and a soon-to-be bride who wonders why she wants it all the darn time. Finally,
an Instagram business owner admits there is more to her success than praying and hydrating.
The book offers a candid look into the life of a Nairobi woman today, the societal hurdles and decisions
she faces, and the consequences that follow.
Joan Thatiah is a Kenyan journalist and the award-winning author of the title Things I Will Tell My Daughter.
Confessions of Nairobi Women is her seventh published book.
If she weren’t a writer, she would be a psychiatrist because the human mind fascinates her.
