Kintu is a breathtaking debut from the winner of the Commonwealth Short Story Prize and the Windham-Campbell Prize for Fiction 2018. Celebrated as “a soaring and sublime epic,” this novel tells the compelling story of Kintu Kidda, who, in 1750, sets out for the capital to pledge loyalty to the new leader of the Buganda Kingdom.
