  Brief Synopsis of Dear Mama

  Dear Mama is a powerful epistolary memoir penned during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. While isolated in Singapore for his banking career, author Kinyanjui Kombani writes 43 letters to his mother, who passed away over two decades ago. The narrative acts as a bridge between the present-day reality of a global lockdown and the vivid, often painful, flashbacks of his childhood in Molo, his struggles as a student, and his eventual rise as a successful author and playwright. It is a profound meditation on resilience, the "power of asking," and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her son.

  Don't let your studies be a struggle—gain the clarity you need to excel in your examinations.
