A mother and son navigate the aftermath of Rwanda's genocide — their fractured relationship a mirror for the trauma, displacement, and impossible distances that survive long after the violence ends. Blending personal and collective history, All Your Children, Scattered explores diaspora, memory, and the struggle to reconcile past horrors with present lives.
Written with lyrical precision and quiet devastation, this is a novel that illuminates the resilience of survivors and the complexities of memory across generations. Moving, beautifully crafted, and deeply necessary.
Perfect for fans of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun and literary fiction rooted in African history and diaspora narratives. Pairs powerfully with The Shadow King by Maaza Mengiste for a thematic set on African resilience and memory.
A paperback (2020, Europa Editions) in Very Good condition.
