In Tales from the Banks of the Nile, J. Abuni brings to life the rhythms of rural Ugandan life through the eyes of a narrator rooted in ancestral land. From the wisdom of elders and the rituals of harvest to the simple joy of preparing Nile perch stew, these stories honor a way of life where farming is sacred, memory is inheritance, and food brings people together.

Through five interconnected stories — ranging from reflections on forgotten graves to the music of weaver birds — this collection invites readers into a world where the past and present meet in quiet beauty.

Rich in cultural detail and emotional honesty, Tales from the Banks of the Nile is both a tribute and a legacy — planting stories like cassava, to nourish generations to come.
