When Ssempa and Sister Julian come together, this only spells tragedy. Ssempa – irreverent, crafty and atheistic – and Julian – a pious, subservient Catholic nun – suddenly find themselves the focus of two religious communities with irreconcilable interests. The unexpected liaison between the two protagonists ignites unforeseen passions within each of the communities, and causes unbearable tensions between them. The two communities inevitably collide, crushing the two hapless lovers in the process. In this contentious, satirical and racy tale that straddles the Great Lakes region and concerns itself with one of the cataclysmic eras of Uganda’s history – the 1950s through to the 1970s.
