In this epic tale of fate, fortune and legacy, Jennifer Makumbi vibrantly brings to life this corner of Africa and this colourful family as she reimagines the history of Uganda through the cursed bloodline of the Kintu clan.

The year is 1750. Kintu Kidda sets out for the capital to pledge allegiance to the new leader of the Buganda kingdom. Along the way he unleashes a curse that will plague his 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 the burden of their past to produce a majestic tale of clan and country – a modern classic.

This book - and its amazing narration!! - had me from the first minute. The characters, the storytelling structure, the sentences situate the reader in multiple interconnected spaces and times of a family’s complex histories. The narration was so powerful: the depth of emotion, embodiment and registers of each character were so unique. I highly recommend this book, both author and narrator. As a lover of history and African storytelling, I was hooked. The story brings to life the human and spiritual/ancestral worlds. Thank you for this beautiful storytelling.

Beautifully intergenerational storytelling with complex, dynamic characters and twists
