Why read it?
1 author picked We Are All Birds of Uganda as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It's an obvious statement to say 'the past leads to the present', but this story illustrates the impact of tragic events in recent history on the lives of people today. With two interwoven narratives set in 1970’s Uganda and present day London, Zayyan brings to life the country of Uganda, the tragedy of the rule of Idi Amin, and the casual racism that can still be seen today. A thought-provoking book which will stay with me.
