The Trouble Causer

In south-western Uganda, the destinies of cattle are intertwined with those of men and clans, and the supernatural holds immense sway over human decisions and actions. This is the backdrop to this novel. Animosities, fears, uncertainties and hot-headedness on the one hand, and harmony, rationality and amity on the other, mark relations between the rival Bajura and Bagirakwe clans; and through the novel, the author shows how this tension still epitomises a current day reality.
