What secrets does the shadow of the jacaranda, Stella's favorite tree, hide? It will take her friend Milan years to discover it. Years to pierce the silences of Rwanda, devastated after the Tutsi genocide. By giving back their voice to the disappeared, the young people will escape solitude. And will find peace near the magnificent shores of Lake Kivu. Over four generations, with his unique gentleness, Gaël Faye tells us the terrible story of a country that despite everything tries to dialogue and forgiveness. Like a tree standing between darkness and light, Jacaranda celebrates humanity, paradoxical, loving, alive.
