Review:

"This is an extraordinary and devastating book. It needs to be on the school curriculum, like the Diary of Anne Frank, or All Quiet on the Western Front. I will never forget it." (Emma Thompson)

"At its heart the Rwandan tragedy was profoundly personal. Personal for every man, woman and child who experienced the terror, who lost those they loved. This novel captures with great poignancy the terrible cost to the youngest and most vulnerable." (Fergal Keane)

"Remarkable . . . a profound and often beautiful book." (Observer)

"At times I couldn't bear to carry on reading...vividly told." (Berlie Doherty)

"A powerful testimony of the genocide in Rwanda, and the events leading up to it." (Mary Blewitt, SURF - the Rwandan Genocide Survivor's Fund)
