AN IMPORTANT NEW NOVEL FROM ENVELOPEBOOKS
In late 1994, The New York Times sends a group of American journalists and Rwandan guides to a small village in Northern Rwanda to cover the atrocities that have killed nearly a million during the spring and summer. Some know each other already; others become acquainted as the assignment proceeds.
They all need to get along, but the more theyre together, the more their expectations of each other change, not least during a trek that takes them across the border to the gorilla forests of Uganda and the volcanoes of Zaire.
Maggie Bawden: Deft plotting that offsets culturally different definitions of violence and sexual conflict.
