Blurb:
Dr Jack Doe has taken a huge risk by quitting his job to take leadership of a worldwide startup programme with the UN in Nairobi, Kenya. On a quick visit to Nairobi in 1993, Jack fell in love with Africa. And with a woman, best known as Njoki, who told him she ran a dress shop. When he arrives, he finds that nothing is as he was told. There is no money. Work conditions are primitive. And Njoki is a trickster known as "Fast Mama".
