"Running the Rift" follows the progress of Jean Patrick Nkuba from the day he knows that running will be his life to the moment he must run to save his life. A naturally gifted athlete, he sprints over the thousand hills of Rwanda and dreams of becoming his country's first Olympic medal winner in track. But Jean Patrick is a Tutsi in a world that has become increasingly restrictive and violent for his people. As tensions mount between the Hutu and Tutsi, he holds fast to his dream that running might deliver him, and his people, from the brutality around them. Winner of the Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction, Naomi Benaron has written a stunning and gorgeous novel that--through the eyes of one unforgettable boy-- explores a country's unraveling, its tentative new beginning, and the love that binds its people together.

Revue de presse :
'This is truly fearless writing: ambitious, beautiful, unapologetically passionate.' --Barbara Kingsolver, author 'The Poisonwood Bible' and founder of the Bellwether Prize

'A novel full of unspeakable strife but also joy, humour, and love, ''hope always [chases] close on the heels of despair,'' thanks to a writer who knows when to keep a steady pace and when to explode into an all-out sprint.' --O: The Oprah Magazine

'It is a testament to Benaron's skill that a novel about genocide about neighbours and friends savagely turning on one another conveys so profoundly the joys of family, friendship, and community.' --Publishers Weekly, starred review

Impressive... Benaron is a subtle writer --Metro

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Winner of the PEN/Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction and shortlisted for the Commonwealth Book Prize, Running the Rift follows Jean Patrick Nkuba, a naturally gifted athlete, from the day he knows that running will be his life to the moment he must run to save it. Jean Patrick dreams about becoming his country’s first Olympic medal winner in track, but he is a Tutsi in a world that has become increasingly restrictive and violent for his people. As tensions mount between the Hutu and Tutsi, he is thrust into a world where it’s impossible to stay apolitical—where the man who sold him bread a few weeks ago now spews hatred, where an identity card bearing the right word becomes his most prized possession, and where the woman he loves may be lost to him forever. Running the Rift is a stunning and gorgeous novel that takes us beyond the headlines to reveal the causes and effects of Rwanda’s tragic history, and to portray the resilience of the human spirit. Through the eyes of one unforgettable boy, Benaron explores the story of a country’s unraveling, its tentative new beginning, and the love that binds its people together.
