Review Quote

“Precise and poetic; profound and profoundly human, All Your Children, Scattered plumbs the depths of history’s silences, and of its victims.”

Review Quote

"Beata Umbubyeyi Mairesse writes in beautiful language of, often, terrible things, which is precisely what gives All Your Children, Scattered so much of its power. War has a long tail, and its impact does not end when the fighting is over. The world of Blanche, Immaculata and Stokley pulls you in and spins you around. Deftly told and beautifully written, this is a story that kept me engrossed to the end."

Review Quote

"Beautifully wrought and utterly compelling."

Review Quote

"This book touched me as it affirms a great faith in literature: that what we think we can no longer say, we can attempt to write. Between silence and the quest for new words, one must find a language: Beata’s is true without being coarse, reserved without hiding details of the events and the emotions they arouse."

Review Quote

“This story tells all our stories.”

Review Quote

"[All Your Children, Scattered] tenderly unfurls the pain of generations, without flinching from the complex legacy of colonization and war. "

Review Quote

“This first novel has the feel of a breakthrough, a transcendence.”

Review Quote

"A brief but powerful novel about the weight of silence and the intergenerational nature of trauma, and despite the weight of its subject matter, there is a light at its center. In opening up these various narratives, Mairesse’s work acts as a reminder that even if the past cannot be restored, silence does not have the last word."
