Bury Me in a Simple Grave (by Godfrey Mwene Kalimugogo)

Bury Me in a Simple Grave

Published in 2009, Bury me in a Simple Grave is a heartbreaking tale that manages to provide some good teachings on Christianity and life in general.

Set in Uganda, the story revolves around three main characters: Rev. Thomas Matsiko, a retired priest, his good friend Nathan and his grandson Robert. Nathan is also Robert’s godparent. Rev. Thomas is portrayed as a man so at peace with the world despite the fact that he has suffered immensely.
