Beschreibung
All the Peaches & Mangoes I Would Sell For You is a love letter to myself. The book is split into four parts- rebirth, birth, growth, and life- beginning with the bare branch of newly planted hybrid mango and peach tree sapling. As the novel progresses, the peaches and mangoes begin to bear fruit and each section details the beautiful struggles that accompany us in the many stages of our lives. Rebirth occurs before birth because we all come from former energy; bare branches signify fertile opportunity in the present future. Exploring nature's harsh violence and its sweet moments of bliss, All the Peaches & Mangoes I Would Sell For You meshes together fragments of my Kenyan-American life with the sweet and sour experiences of others I've witnessed. Through poetry, prose, and short writing this novel explores themes of love, loneliness, nature, and more. This drawn out love letter illustrates the diverse moments we all endure that connect us together.
