About Going Down River Road by Meja Mwangi

Ben, a former army lieutenant who has been cashiered from the military, now works as a building labourer in Nairobi. This novel follows a character whose working life has shifted from the army to construction work in the city.

Readers interested in fiction set in Nairobi, or in stories centered on a change in occupation and circumstance, may find it a useful choice. The available description offers little further detail about the plot.
