'Jacaranda' by Gaël Faye wins the 4th Edition of Goncourt Prize: Choice of India
The Daily Guardian
|April 18, 2025
The Choice of India edition of the Goncourt Prize, one of the most prestigious French literary prizes, has been awarded to 'Jacaranda', a French-language novel by Franco-Rwandan writer Gaël Faye, published in 2025 by the French publishing house Grasset.
Jacaranda is a poignant work that explores the profound link between history, the quest for identity and belonging to one's land. Set in Rwanda, a country scarred by the 1994 genocide, the novel not only revisits the tragic past, but also highlights the changes underway, including judicial reforms and social transformations.
Through a fluid and emotional narrative, Faye invites us to experience moments of hope, pain and resilience. The story is deeply moving, immersing us in the soul of a people undergoing reconstruction, while echoing the immense potential of the country's future.
Writer Gaël Faye said, "I'm happy to know that this story resonated with the jury of the Indian chapter of the Goncourt prize. My novel 'Petit Pays' had already received an exceptional welcome during my trip to India in July 2020, especially during the Jaipur Literature Festival.
