Description

'A novel about home, about belonging and exile; a compelling and complex insight into a recent past that still resonates' - Irish TimesUganda, 1972.

A devastating decree is issued: all Ugandan Asians must leave the country in ninety days.

They must take only what they can carry, give up their money and never return. For Asha and Pran, married a matter of months, it means abandoning the family business that Pran has worked so hard to save.

For his mother, Jaya, it means saying goodbye to the house that has been her home for decades.

But violence is escalating in Kampala, and people are disappearing.

Will they all make it to safety in Britain and will they be given refuge if they do?And all the while, a terrible secret about the expulsion hangs over them, threatening to tear the family apart. From the green hilltops of Kampala, to the terraced houses of London, Neema Shah’s extraordinarily moving debut Kololo Hill explores what it means to leave your home behind, what it takes to start again, and the lengths some will go to protect their loved ones. ‘[An] incredible debut’ - Stylist
