Scholastique Mukasonga's autobiographical stories rend a glorious
Rwanda from the obliterating force of recent history, conjuring the
noble cows of her home or the dew-swollen grass they graze on. In
the title story, five-year-old Colomba tells of a merciless
overlord, hunger or igifu, gnawing away at her belly. She searches
for sap at the bud of a flower, scraps of sweet potato at the foot
of her parent s bed, or a few grains of sorghum in the floor
sweepings. Igifu becomes a dizzying hole in her stomach, a plunging
abyss into which she falls.
