A Fledgling Abiba

<p>An orphaned teenage girl tries to survive on her own and understand her magical powers while a sorcerous plague sweeps the country. She may hold the key to its cure but what she really wants is somewhere she can call home and family.</p><p>This story by noted Ugandan author and film-maker Dilman Dila takes us on a journey from mundane village life becoming more and more fantastic as it goes drawing us into his world of magic and spirits.<br /><br />“In clear prose Dila involves us in a tale of magic driven by fierce emotion inheritance and tradition.  He tells the story of a brave abused and magical childhood with a film maker’s structural skills and the voice of a writer.”<br />—Geoff Ryman</p>
