A riveting story of dislocation, survival, and the power of stories
to break or save us When Clemantine Wamariya was six years old, her
world was torn apart. She didn't know why her parents began talking
in whispers, or why her neighbours started disappearing, or why she
could hear distant thunder even when the skies were clear. As the
Rwandan civil war raged, Clemantine and her sister Claire were
forced to flee their home. They ran for hours, then walked for
days, not towards anything, just away. they sought refuge where
they could find it, and escaped when refuge became imprisonment.
Together, they experienced the best and the worst of humanity.
After spending six years seeking refuge in eight different
countries, Clemantine and Claire were granted refugee status in
America and began a new journey. Honest, life-affirming and
searingly profound, this is the story of a girl's struggle to
remake her life and create new stories - without forgetting the old
ones. ____________________________________ 'Extraordinary and
heartrending. Wamariya is as fiercely talented as she is
courageous' JUNOT DIAZ, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar
