This is an excellent, quick read that tells the story of the ousting of Idi Amin from power from the perspective of a young girl, living in an isolated village in Uganda. I enjoyed the point of view of the author, even though it is difficult to read knowing the larger historical context of the fact that even the end of Idi Amin didn't mean peace for Uganda, and this particular region in Uganda for many, many more years.
