Uganda

The First Woman
by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi

This vibrant, riveting book is the story of Kirabo, an inquistive, headstrong girl growing up in a small Ugandan village in the 1970s, surrounded by women who are all desperate for her to conform. We follow Kirabo on a journey of determination and defiance as she becomes a young woman in a country in the grip of the bloody dictatorship of Idi Amin.
