You can watch my interview by the Institute Français at the Beyond Words French Literature Festival in May.

I talk about my first novel, Our Lady of the Nile at the link below, along with two readings from the book, in both French and English.

Set in a small, prestigious Catholic boarding school for the wealthy and well-connected, Our Lady of the Nile weaves together stories of girlhood with the particular history of Rwanda. Mukasonga transforms the lycée into a microcosm of the country’s mounting racial tensions and violence leading up to the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
