One Day I Will Write About This Place

Ivanno Jeremiah is the perfect choice for this heartfelt memoir of a boy growing up in Kenya during political and familial turmoil. Jeremiah is a consummate performer whose versatility brings both male and female characters to life. His narration captures the nuances of African politics, a teenager's fascination with Michael Jackson, and a mother's juggling of the responsibilities associated with an increasing number of children. Jeremiah has a well-rounded understanding of Kenyan accents as he differentiates between the younger characters, who have more Western influences, and the older characters who have more traditional pronunciations.
