Time Was Land

About The Book

Time Was Land is a reflective literary novel that explores memory, identity, and the quiet truths that surface when time is allowed to speak.

Following the emotional terrain opened in Time Is Land, this second work moves deeper into remembrance, reconciliation, and the invisible stories carried by people and place. It is a book about what remains after awakening. About what resurfaces when land remembers.

About the conversations we inherit, and the silences we learn to break. 

This is not a fast story. It is a necessary one.

What You’ll Find Inside

• Themes of land, belonging, and inherited memory

• Reflections on identity and lived African experience

• A continuation of the journey begun in Time Is Land

• Language that invites stillness and introspection

• A narrative that honours both personal and collective history

A Note from the Author

Time Was Land was written as a listening.

Listening to memory.

Listening to what time carries.

Listening to stories that live beneath the surface of everyday life.

This book is for readers who are willing to pause:-

to sit with questions,

to honour where they come from,

and to explore how the past shapes the present.
