Monica Arac de Nyeko has won the £10,000 Caine prize for African writing with her touching love story, Jambula Tree.
Set in Uganda, where Arac de Nyeko was born and brought up, it tells of a taboo love between two teenagers, and the consequences of its discovery. While the emotions are described with a delicate touch, the tale is given ballast through its rich portrayal of the protagonists' community, the Nakawa Housing Estates - a crowded acre of "planned slums, with people with broken dreams and unplanned families for neighbours".
