Mukasonga, Scholastique,

The barefoot woman / Scholastique Mukasonga ; translated from the French by Jordan Stump. - First Archipelago books edition. - New York : Archipelago Books, 2018. - 146 pages ; 18 cm.

"A moving, unforgettable tribute to a Tutsi woman who did everything to protect her children from the Rwandan genocide, by the daughter who refuses to let her family's story be forgotten. The story of the author's mother, a fierce, loving woman who for years protected her family from the violence encroaching upon them in pre-genocide Rwanda. Recording her memories of their life together in spare, wrenching prose, Mukasonga preserves her mother's voice in a haunting work of art."--Provided by publisher.


In English, translated from the French.
