Kintu is an epic rollercoaster of a novel, set in 1750 and gradually takes us from pre-colonial to post-colonial to present-day Uganda. Once I turned a few pages and was taken into Uganda (formerly the Buganda Kingdom) in the 1700s, I knew I was going to enjoy this read. When I first got this book I was very intimidated by its size alone, it may only be 420 pages but it looks like those African Bibles we were all forced to buy in High school but I digress… Well while we wait for probably the worst year ever to end, (hello November!) let’s pass the time reading some really dope books like this one – Kintu by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi.
