Description
Reimagining Uganda's troubled history through the cursed bloodline of the Kintu clan, Jennifer Makumbi brings to life this corner of Africa and its colourful family in an epic tale of fate, fortune and legacy.
The year is 1750. A pledge of allegiance sets off a chain of events that unleashes a curse on the Kintu family for generations. Blending oral tradition, myth, folktale and history, Makumbi weaves together the stories of Kintu's descendants as they seek to break free from their past.
This majestic tale of clan and country is a vibrant exploration of Uganda's complex heritage, told through the lens of one family's struggles with fate, fortune and legacy.
