«Notre-Dame du Nil» is the novel by Scholastique Mukasonga, published by Gallimard in paperback (288 pages, in French).
In Rwanda in the 1970s, a Catholic boarding school in the mountains takes in teenagers who live together under a 10% ethnic quota for Tutsi students. Friendships, desires and grudges mix with the persecutions and racial hatred that precede the genocide, in a microcosm that reflects the country's political violence.
Originally published in 2012, it won the Prix Renaudot and the Ahmadou Kourouma Prize that same year. This paperback edition is part of Gallimard's Folio collection.
For readers of African literature and historical fiction interested in Rwanda's recent past and in choral stories of young characters.
