In 1991, Eva Kasaya, a 13-year old girl dropped out of school in rural Western Kenya and came to Nairobi to work as a domestic servant. For several years she was consistently physically and sexually harassed by subsequent employers. When she turned 19, she managed to go back to school and thereafter trained as a dressmaker. She also started writing about her life during this period, having never given up on becoming a published writer. Tale of Kasaya traces her journey from girlhood to the present, her memoir reflects the plight of hundreds of domestic servants across Kenya. Evas story is one of courage, and survival that goes behind the closed doors of the Kenyan urban family to reveal spaces that we all recognize but refuse to acknowledge.
