Sanyu Nannono smiling, her hands resting beneath her chin

About the author

Sanyu Nannono

Ugandan-born. UK-based. Writing from the places where story, womanhood and Soul meet.

Sanyu Nannono is an author and teacher whose work explores identity, love, memory, belonging and the human spirit.

Her debut, 66: My Dialogue with Soul, recorded a personal conversation with the signs and questions that accompanied her becoming. Her first fiction novel, F.A.L.L.i.N.G., crosses from Uganda to Cambridge through the lives of Helen-Rita Nakintu and Joe Benjamin Aldgate.

Across fiction and reflection, Sanyu writes women with humour, contradiction, appetite and the right to remain gloriously difficult.

At the centre

“Soul, I am here.”

The sentence beneath the work: an answer, a promise and a willingness to keep listening.
