Sakina is an embroidery artist growing up in the shanty town of Indian Nairobi, a railroad settlement in British East Africa in the early 1900s. At home there are many storytellers like her stepmother, grandfather and uncle whose stories blend like a tapestry of India and East Africa that flare her child’s imagination. In her tormented married life, while becoming a woman, Sakina finds comfort in the art of the beadwork of the Maasai.

The journey to writing the memoir begins by becoming aware of the Material World that people build around them over the years.

About Me

Sultan Somjee
I live in Burnaby, Canada. I walk the path at crossroads of faiths and cultures, listening to stories embedded in artefacts and photographs. And I write. While writing this book I listened to many storytellers over a period of nine years. In the book I quote one Canadian storyteller called Thomas King. He is an Aboriginal storyteller. This is what he says: "The truth about stories is that that’s all we are."
