A review by laurao
We Are All Birds of Uganda by Hafsa Zayyan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.

There are two protagonists. The modern one is entirely written in passive voice and never takes control of his life. The one in the past is a hypocrite. It was a grating read. I wanted a book to learn about the history of Uganda and someone recommended this book to me, but the subject matter in Uganda is very specific and I have no way to put it in context yet.
