Abyssinian Chronicles Isegawa, Moses

Moses Isegawa's epic debut takes you deep into the heart of Uganda during Idi Amin's brutal regime, seen through the eyes of Mugezi, a boy navigating family dysfunction, political upheaval, and his own coming-of-age. This is storytelling on a grand scale—vivid, darkly comic, and utterly immersive. Isegawa writes with the unflinching honesty of Chinua Achebe and the sweeping ambition of García Márquez, creating a portrait of a nation and a childhood that's both intimate and monumental. Perfect for readers who love ambitious literary fiction, African literature, and stories that don't shy away from life's complexities.
