Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Philip Makau's first novel, Anyone Can Dream, offers us an intimate view of life in an isolated village in British Colonial Kenya. Rarely are we invited to so vividly witness a seemingly inescapable life of unimaginable poverty and hardship. The story is told with a flair for humor and attention to detail as lived by Mark, a young Kenyan boy raised with the belief that, through determination and education, anything is possible. His belief bears fruit as he fights against all odds and reaches a new land where all his dreams come true. This novel is a celebration of triumph over obstacles rarely conquered. Bravo Dr. Makau.

This historical novel chronicles the struggle and evolution of an African boy born in rural colonial Kenya, to become a cosmopolitan adult. It depicts his struggles against poverty, ignorance, nepotism, bigotry and racism. While the narrative is entertaining its focus is to motivate the reader to strive and reach his own chosen goal. As the title implies, much of what you aspire to is within your grasp if determination and desire are present. Its message is universal and relevant to readers of all ages.
