All your children, scattered

Can the irreparable be repaired, can those whom history has scattered be brought back together?

Blanche, a Rwandan woman, lives in Bordeaux after fleeing the 1994 Tutsi genocide. She has built a life for herself in France with her husband and their mixed-race child, Stokely. But after years in exile, when Blanche visits her mother Immaculata, painful memories resurface. Will the one who stayed and the one who left be able to talk to each other, forgive each other, love each other again? Stokely, caught between two countries, wants to understand where he comes from. An ode to persevering mothers, to the transmission of knowledge, to the life force that drives each of us, Tous tes enfants dispersés carries the voices of three generations trying to reconnect broken ties and find their place in today's world.

This debut novel shows impressive sensitivity and marks the birth of an important voice.
