'A luminous debut novel... This is a book that demanded to be
written... With a light touch, 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
river 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 and genocide. A
haunting and luminous novel of extraordinary power, Small Country
describes a devastating end of innocence as seen through the eyes
of a young child caught in the maelstrom of history. It is a
stirring tribute not only to a time of tragedy, but also to the
bright days that came before it.
