Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title Adam Bede for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

Does anybody have any character info on mugo? i cant find any character sketches on the net, thanks.

In this novel we can see that Mugo right from the start appears to be anxious or naive about a cause unknown. The novel later reviels his ambitions in life, to be sucessful. This was motivated by the way in which he grew up. As a result, he does'nt care about the state of mind of other Kenyans who are worried about Uhuru. To reach success, he does not want to be bothered. Kihika enters his life, Mugo resorts to betraying him. The British are not convinced that Mugo is telling the truth about Kihika's Mau Mau cause. He turns him in. The British in turn do not believe Mugo and he is sent to detention camps. He feels bitter about his experience. He has no oath to confess but the people of Kenya mistake his silence when he actually has no knowledge or care about the oath; for bravery, courage and intense nationalistic caues, thus making him the mistaken hero. It is finally realised that Mugo did nothing when he is frustrated to the point where he tells the people the truth.
