Kintu
by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi
KINTU by JENNIFER NANSUBUGA MAKUMBI
I’ve been reading this book off and on for months, maybe even a year, but I didn’t really get into it properly until a couple of weeks ago. And now:
I love this book!
It’s a generational tale — and I know you all love those — following the same family from 1754 to 2004 in what is now Uganda. It tackles generational trauma, colonialism, post-colonialism, tribal traditions, Christianity and curses.
My only issue was that I often forgot the characters’ names and because I was reading on kindle, I couldn’t flip back and check who was who. I’d recommend you have a family tree in front of you while reading!
This was an excellent read; my second by the writer.
Have you read this/do you plan to read it?
