Immaculée Ilibagiza grew up in a country she loved, surrounded by a family that she cherished.
But in 1994 her idyllic world was ripped apart as Rwanda descended into bloody holocaust. Immaculée's family was brutally murdered during a killing spree that lasted three months and claimed the lives of nearly a million Rwandans. Incredibly, Immaculée survived the slaughter. For 91 days, she and seven other women huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor while hundreds of machete-wielding killers hunted for them.
The triumphant story of this remarkable young woman's journey through the darkness of genocide will inspire anyone whose life has been touched by fear, suffering and loss. Following the transformation of her life in the ten year's since Left to Tell's first publication, this new edition of her bestselling memoir reflects on her spiritual transformation since those dark days.
Immaculee's searing account of her ordeal and survival is a moving testament to the indestructibility of the human spirit. The Times To have witnessed such horror, to have endured such agony and to have survived intact is almost beyond comprehension. The Daily Telegraph Rwanda's answer to Anne Frank. Catholic Times
