Why does relocation to Nasila bring sense of premonition??

In Chapter One, we see that for Taiyo, the move inspires a bit of hopelessness. Her own dreams have been shattered by her father's refusal to allow her to study music in Mombasa. Premonition can be found in the interaction between Resian, Taiyo, and the stranger. The stranger’s remark reflects the town’s rigid expectations for women. Namely, the expectation that women be chaste, deferential, circumcised, and that they become homemakers. This interaction foreshadows the girls' future.
