The Land Remembers

For Muntu, Alkebulan Farm is more than just soil – it’s history, identity, and inheritance. But as the once-thriving ancestral land falls into disrepair, so too does Muntu’s grip on his role as father, husband, and heir. As his neighbours close in with deceit, sabotage, and greed, Muntu’s silence risks becoming complicity in his own undoing.

His wife, Tisa, can no longer watch in silence. In desperation, she calls on her brother, Kamau – a man with his own painful past and unfinished conflict with Muntu. Kamau’s return brings both hope and tension, rekindling buried wounds and forcing the fractured family to confront what has been lost… and what can still be saved.

Set against a backdrop of rural uncertainty and communal erosion, this novel explores the cost of pride, the resilience of women, the innocence of children, and the land’s quiet demand for stewardship.

In Alkebulan, survival is not guaranteed – but for those who remember what the soil is worth, it just might be earned.
