Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi recommends
River Spirit (2023)
Leila Aboulela
"In River Spirit, Aboulela's writing soars. It is urgent and it is critical. She joins writers like Maaza Mengiste, Namwali Serpell and Ayesha Haruna Atta in excavating history, breathing life into it, and presenting it in a new light. It is so far my best read this year."
The Furrows (2022)
Namwali Serpell
"Namwali Serpell's gift soars. . . . She takes pain and loss and cooks up a storm. Currents of grief, guilt, and greed are unpicked with ruthless precision. . . . The Furrows establishes her as a literary powerhouse."
