Beautifully written in the graceful, lilting prose that dominated Our Lady of the Nile.” – Eileen Battersby, Irish Times(Best Books of 2016) Qi C, Xu CJ, Koppelman GH.

Scholastique Mukasonga in recreating the world that in 1994 was shattered to pieces.” — Svenska Dagbladet But I have often maintained that if an author can make you dislike and sometimes even hate his characters with a passion, then that writer has done his/her job.

"Fatal beauty". The New York Review of Books. 65 (3): 27–29. - Cited: p. 27 Mukasonga begins with her childhood in the late 1950s. She was born in her family’s enclosure at Cyanika. She has no memories of her birth place, but she remembers well their home in Nyamata where her family lived in exile. She was raised with a strong sense of community and belonging in a loving home with her parents and siblings eking out a living as best they could with the little they had. A firm, loving bond held the family together in the face of formidable obstacles, with each one willing to risk life and limb to obtain much needed supplies for their survival. I hate it. It's about all of the clichés that frame immigrants : messed up, psychotic, sex-addicts, egocentric, psychopaths, thiefs, hallucinating drunkies, drug addicts, filthy, leeches,...

Mukasonga unsparingly resurrects the horrors of the Rwandan geocide while lyrically recording the quieter moments of daily life with her family—a moving tribute to all those who are displaced, who suffer. No persons or events mentioned in this book should be confused with real persons or events. Reality is far too strange for that.” That becomes more than understandable once Hole works out that the only reason powerful government officials have chosen him for the assignment is because they were confident he will fail. And that knowledge makes Harry even more determined to succeed by getting to the bottom of the murder and capturing the killer.

The infectious contempt through which the anti-hero protagonist views everything around him -- dispensed equally among the struggling immigrant community and the fine-dining bourgeoisie who live in a state of permanent denial -- allows the novel to conspicuously flirt with themes of violence, class consciousness, existential dread, cultural conflict, and the persistent declarations and regrets of human agency.

The ethnic identities of the Hutu and Tutsi were reshaped and mythologized by the colonisers. Christian missionaries promoted the theory about the "Hamitic" origins of the kingdom, and referred to the distinctively Ethiopian features and hence, foreign origins, of the Tutsi "caste". These mythologies provided the basis for anti-Tutsi propaganda in the following decades, as, after World War II, a Hutu emancipation movement began to grow in Rwanda, fuelled by an increasing sympathy for the Hutu within the Catholic Church. It was Habyarimana’s death that set off what everyone in Nyamata knew was coming, something that would be named by a word I’d never heard before: genocide. In Kinyarwanda, we would call it gutsembatsemba, a verb that means something like ‘to eradicate,’ formerly used to talk about rabid dogs or destructive animals. When I learned of the first massacres, immediately after Habayariman’s death, it was like a brief moment of deliverance: at last! Now we could stop living our lives waiting for death to come. It was there. There was no way to escape it. The Tutsis’ fated destiny would be fulfilled. A morbid satisfaction flashed through my mind: we in Nyamata had so long expected this! But how could I have conceived the depth of the horror that would overtake Rwanda? An entire people engaged in the most unthinkable crimes, against old people, women, children, babies, with a cruelty and ferocity so inhuman that even today the killers feel no remorse.” Herranz N, Gil J (2018) Mechanisms and functions of cellular senescence.

ACS Chem Neurosci 12:1469–1471 In a spare and penetrating tone, Mukasonga brings to life the scenes of her family’s forced displacement from Rwanda to neighboring Burundi. With a view made lucid through time and pain, Mukasonga erodes the distance between her present and her past, resurrecting and paying homage to her family members who were massacred in the genocide, but also, in movingly simple language, the beauty present in quiet, daily moments with her loved ones.
