A Broken Life

Judence Kayitesi

In 1994, the genocide against the Tutsi was taking place in the small central African country Rwanda: Approximately 1 million Tutsi were killed within 100 days, mostly in a bestial way. Judence, a Tutsi 11 years old at the time, experienced this bloody massacre and luckily survived. Only now, after many years, she can talk about the events of that time and come to terms with her past. She courageously goes public with this book and describes in moving words her experiences, which touched her deeply, influenced and shaped her future life. For her to come to terms with the events, there can only be the path of understanding and forgiveness. However, "I cannot forgive as if nothing had happened. That is not possible. I therefore leave it behind me", is her emphatic message. The book ends with an appeal to all genocide survivors to continue documenting the story of the genocide against the Tutsi so that it will be a lesson for future generations.

Light in the Dark

Sandra Nadege Uwayezu

Light in the Dark is a short memoir that explores the author's journey towards self-care, honesty, and overcoming her darkest moments. It traces her life from the age of nine, when she believed her emotions were too overwhelming to be understood or relieved. The memoir reflects on a time when she struggled to embrace her differences and had not yet realised her own strength and potential. Through her story, she shows that acknowledging one's feelings is the first step towards understanding, healing, and ultimately gaining control over them.

A Conversation with Dusk

Esther Uwase

A Conversation with Dusk is a collection of poems that span three years of experience and reflect the splattered and split graffiti heart of a Rwandan lady, known by her pen name GIA, a friend of bookholics and poetry lovers. These poems are crafted with deep thinking, deeply agonizing humour, and a celebration of nature. The collection deals with diverse themes such as love, the baffling paradox of God, life, bleeding, blemished flesh wounds of the soul, sad lapses of time, feelings; and records that cannot be rewound but remembered with the salve of sweet songs of memories we sing unceasingly. It also portrays the grace of the tears we find in our freedom, breathing between the chaos and thunder. The poems in this collection provide the reader with an enchanting mood and insights into their areas of interest in human life's cycle that prevent them from tragically falling apart. Like wind chimes blowing, the artist in these poems will hold your attention.

The Answer to a Requiem

Lise Nova Berwadushime
