The year is 1750. As he makes his way to the capital to pledge allegiance to the new leader of the Buganda Kingdom, Kintu Kidda unleashes a curse that will plague his family for generations. As the centuries pass, the tale moves down the bloodline, exploring the lives of four of Kintu Kidda`s descendants. Although the family members all have their own stories & live in very different circumstances, they are united by one thing
- the struggle to break free from the curse & escape the burden of their family`s past. Blending Ganda oral tradition, myth, folktale & history, Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi has brought to life an extraordinarily colourful cast of characters to produce a powerful epic
- a modern classic.
