Description

Small Country is a heart-wrenching tale of growing up in the face of war. For ten-year-old Gabriel, life in his comfortable expat neighbourhood is a carefree paradise. He spends his days with friends, sneaking cigarettes and stealing mangoes, swimming in the lake and riding bikes through the streets they've turned into their kingdom. But as dark clouds gather over Burundi and Rwanda, their peaceful idyll shatters. The brutal impact of war on this small country is a harrowing reality that Gabriel and his family must confront. Gael Faye's debut novel is an unforgettable portrayal of childhood lost to conflict, and the devastating consequences that follow. Gabriel's story is a powerful exploration of the human cost of war, and the resilience of those who survive it.
