Description
Whose Fault? is the true story that speaks about a young girl who was born, grew up in a village, where she lived with her grandmother and her uncles without knowing her biological father. Her mother (Camilla), whom she called sister, got pregnant when working as a labourer at the NAFCO estate. After becoming pregnant, Camillas relationship with Godson didnt end in a good way; she was forced out of her job and went back home to her family, where she gave birth to her daughter (Olive). Actually, Olives family werent financially sound enough to fulfil her needs, including sending her to secondary school after finishing her primary school education, although they would have loved to do so. She lived in the village where most of her fellow pupils ended up getting married and becoming farmers after their primary school education. Olive never wanted to get married or even to be a farmer; actually, life in the village never pleased her. Her dreams were to study to high levels after her primary school education. It was impossible for her to achieve her dreams because of the lack of finance in her family. She believed that if she could know her father, he could manage to educate her further, although she wasnt sure of her thought. As she grew up and approached the end of her primary school education, she found herself in a dilemma. She was running out of time, and she had only a few months to find out about her father. She decided to force her mother to show her father to her. Otherwise, she would have to take the responsibility of taking her to secondary school, something 168 Jackie Gabagambi that was impossible for her mother, who had been married to another man at the same village at the moment. Her mother never allowed her to ask those kinds of questions because it was a sort of shame in that village for girls who were brought up without knowing their fathers to demand to know them. Her mother was harsh to her, and her whole family was against her idea, but that didnt stop her from asking and getting what she wanted. Although she didnt have a clue about her father, she went the extra mile when she decided to search for him. She went through terrible moments that nearly took her life. I gave the book (Whose Fault) this title because, in the end, Olive met her father. One day, she asked him why he never searched for her, or even wanted to know whether she existed or not as he never saw (Camilla) again for fourteen years after she got pregnant. Surprisingly, his response was, It was your mothers fault. It was her responsibility to show your father to you. She realised that if she had never searched for him, he wouldnt have ever searched for her, even though she didnt know whom to blame.
