Books set in Uganda

Abyssinian Chronicles

Moses Isegawa

Isegawa's Uganda runs from a Catholic childhood in the Buganda countryside south of the capital, through the boarding seminary, and into Kampala itself: the seven hills, the markets and the slums, and the fear of the Amin and Obote years. The map holds to the real Ugandan geography the novel walks, before its narrator finally leaves for the Netherlands.
