Whispers from Vera is a light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek read, enriched with Uglish and local languages set against the vibrancy of Kampala metropolis in the 2000s. Free-spirited and audacious, Vera documents the whole gamut of her life’s experiences as she navigates through the lows and highs of motherhood and wifehood of a middle-class, modern-day, Ugandan career woman.
In this masterpiece, Goretti Kyomuhendo introduces us to twenty-nine-year-old Vera who is desperate to meet Mr Right after several failed relationships. A high-flyer, Vera is determined to have it all: a husband, family and an illustrious career. When she meets Eric, a hunky, corporate executive, Vera is elated. Eric is thirty-one, single and searching.
Then a secret of unimaginable magnitude that Eric has kept from Vera surfaces, threatening to destroy their otherwise perfect romance. Will Vera make the necessary sacrifices to keep the fame burning?
