Description
A young girl named Kirabo sets out to uncover the truth behind her absent mother, only to find that the answers are tangled in the living history of women around her. Moving through Ugandan traditions and a society in transition, Kirabo’s search for identity becomes a coming-of-age reckoning with what womanhood demands, protects, and costs. As secrets surface and unspoken stories come to light, the novel explores belonging, heritage, and the quiet power of female bonds that endure even when the past refuses to stay buried. With Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi’s lyrical, emotionally charged storytelling, this epic yet intimate narrative turns personal longing into a broader meditation on memory, agency, and resilience.
