The action takes place in Uganda under the dictatorship of Idi Amin Dada, amid car bombs and violence. The novel describes a society corroded by hatred, mistrust, denunciation and betrayal. The disillusioned tone and biting irony, with echoes of Shakespeare, mark the drama of characters suffocated by anguish.

For readers of literary fiction who want to delve into Idi Amin's Uganda and a society marked by violence and mistrust.
