Book

it’s not top ten nor five

nor in order

but if you’re into books

or interested in something good

here is my story

after my undergraduate studies

I found myself with a lot of time and energy at hand

sadly, that was it

time and energy

with no job or any other occupations

years went by

when all you have is time

a day can seem like a month

imagine a whole year

staying at home

all day, every day

but I had hope

hope, for better days to come

days that happened to be far unreachable

one day, like any other day

I went to visit someone who was once a brother

(that’s a story for another day)

there was this book by a Rwandan author

• « Inyenzi ou les cafards »- Scholastique Mukasonga

the woman in the novel happens to be of the same generation as my mother

same origin

I’m speaking in terms of region

we all are Rwandese

the novel did speak to me in ways

I can’t put it into words

she is originally from Byumba same as my grandparents

she and her family were strongly forced to go and get eaten by Tsetse in Nyamata

once again, same as my mum’s family

within that book

I understood the untold story of my roots

the atrocity that my family went through

not that I didn’t know

but some other details

that connected the dots

and that’s how I found myself into books

that was the first into many others and many more to come

that being said

I highly recommend these books below
