An international sensation, Small Country is a beautiful but
harrowing tale of coming-of-age in the face of civil war. 'A
luminous debut novel...Faye dramatises the terrible nostalgia of
having lost not only a childhood but also a whole world to war'
Guardian Burundi, 1992. For ten-year-old Gabriel, life in his
comfortable expat neighbourhood of Bujumbura with his French
father, Rwandan mother and little sister, Ana, is something close
to paradise. These are happy, carefree days spent with his friends
sneaking cigarettes and stealing mangoes, swimming in the lake and
riding bikes in the streets they have turned into their kingdom.
But dark clouds are gathering over this small country, and soon
their peaceful idyll will shatter when Burundi and neighbouring
Rwanda are brutally hit by war. 'Unforgettable... Gael Faye's
talent is breathtaking' Imbolo Mbue, author of Behold the Dreamers
