Kintu- Jennifer Makumbi: It is considered to be the "great Ugandan novel" as it is the first novel of substance to come from the country. I really enjoyed the first hundred pages, the rest is ok.

A Man of the People- Chinua Achebe: His best novel imo. Reads like a Dostoevsky.

Burning Grass- Cyprian Ekwensi: A novel set in Nigeria where a man is cursed to wander indefinitely. It's quite compelling and fast paced.

Nervous Conditions- Tsitsi Dangarembga: A Zimbabwean novel of a young girl, who like many young girls in Africa are pressured to work rather than go to school. It's been some years since I read it but I remember it being beautifully written.

I want to get these titles out quickly. I will add another list of novels pulled from books on my shelf
