Description
Confessions of Nairobi Men and Women: The Last Chapter is a bold, unflinching end to the beloved Confessions series. In these pages, real people lay their lives bare through stories of heartbreak, lust, betrayal, shame, addiction, redemption, and survival in a city that never sleeps. Set against the restless pulse of Nairobi, these voices are unfiltered, the emotions unedited and the truths sometimes too heavy to carry alone.
This fifth and final volume is the most personal yet. You’ll meet women who stayed, men who broke, lives that shattered quietly, and secrets that refused to stay buried. These are not just stories, they’re mirror shards of a city where everyone is hiding something. It’s the final curtain call, and Nairobi is speaking her truth one last time.

Joan Thatiah is a fearless storyteller and journalist with a gift for capturing the unspoken truths of everyday life. Her voice is unmistakable: bold and deeply rooted in the realities of the people she writes about.
Confessions of Nairobi Men and Women: The Last Chapter, marks her eleventh published book. Her words cut deep, her characters linger long after the last page, and her commitment to story-telling has made her one of the most important literary voices of her generation.
For five years now, l’ve sat across dozens of people in this city. Some in Cafés, some in their cars and others at my dining table. Strangers, friends, and people who slid into my DM at 2am because they needed to tell someone.
I have listened to pain, to shame, to triumph and to pride, raw and unfiltered.
Writing Confessions of Nairobi Men and Women: The last chapter has been both a privilege and a burden. I’ve carried stories that weren’t mine and the weight was real. These stories stayed with me. They sat on my chest. I’ve tried to write every single story with the respect it deserves.
