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 lake 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.

Biographie de Gaël Faye

Gaël Faye was Born in 1982 in Burundi to a French father and a Rwandan mother. In 1995, after the outbreak of the civil war and the Rwandan genocide, the family moved to France. An author, songwriter and hip hop artist, he released his first solo album, Pili Pili sur un croissant au beurre, in 2013. Small Country is his first novel. A best- seller in France, it won the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens 2016, and is being published in thirty countries worldwide.
Gaël lives in Paris. Sarah Ardizzone received the Scott Moncrieff Prize for her translation of Faïza Guène's Just Like Tomorrow, and has twice won the Marsh Prize for Children's Literature in Translation. Her translation of Joann Sfar's graphic novel version of The Little Prince earned her a New York Times Notable Book accolade.
