Krátky popis
A young man journeys from Paris to Rwanda to discover the truth
about his mother’s past and the country of her birth, from
bestselling and prize-winning Rwandan-French novelist and hip-hop
artist Gaël Faye‘A writer of great promise and grace’ Chigozie
ObiomaMilan – the twelve-year-old son of a French father and a
Rwandan mother – blames flunking his exams on the emotional trauma
of the genocide in his mother’s homeland. It’s a convenient excuse:
growing up outside Paris in the 1990s, the violence is an
abstraction that only reaches him through distant television
broadcasts.That is, until Milan’s mother introduces him to Claude,
a young cousin with a bandaged head who has come to France seeking
medical treatment. Thrilled to have a new playmate, Milan treats
Claude as a brother until one day, he is sent back to Rwanda as
quickly as he came.Four years later, Milan travels for the first
time to Rwanda, encountering a beguiling country and family members
he never knew existed, and reuniting with Claude. But the trip
raises more questions for Milan than it answers – about his
family’s history, the war and its aftershocks.Over the course of
many years, Milan will return to Rwanda again and again, compelled
to confront the past and imagine a new kind of future. Jacaranda is
a rich and deeply felt portrait of a man seeking to understand his
family and his nation as it heals from the unthinkable.‘Gaël Faye’s
talent is breathtaking’ Imbolo Mbue
