Speak Rwanda: A Novel - Softcover

"Heart-wrenching and exceptional...powerfully captures the horror of the 1994 Rwandan genocide and gives an all-too-human face to the headlines.... Pierce's graphic accounts of atrocities are harrowing, as are his descriptions of life in camps filled with disease and starvation. He gives each character, even the despicable ones, a depth and uniqueness that balance the terror, creating a universal story of tragedy and survival. While recent events will spark interest, the strong story, involving characters, and good writing make this a novel that will last." --Library Journal
