Description
Jacaranda is a purple tree symbolizing rebirth and hope. But in its shadow, it also hides a story of silence and pain.
Milan, having grown up in Versailles, returns to Rwanda to uncover the secret of his mother's silence. Stella searches for her own story in the lush shade of the jacaranda, a loyal 'friend' from childhood. Rosalie, the family matriarch, reminds them: 'You cannot know who you are if you do not know where you come from.'
This poetic novel stands like an ancient tree on the border of darkness and light. It reminds us that humanity is contradictory: capable of both cruelty and love, but its essence, despite everything, is to live. Through the destinies of four generations, Gaël Faye presents a century of Rwandan history and the horrors of the Tutsi genocide.
