In the Shadow of the Church - E-book - ePub

1994: genocide spreads across Rwanda like a plague until every town and village is devastated by its ferocity. In Kitabuye, Liliane Iwo hides and watches the slaughter of her fellow Tutsis. She is eventually caught, but despite suffering horrific machete wounds, she survives and escapes. Three years later, Liliane has made a comfortable new life in London, free from the memories of those dark days.
Then, after a chance sighting of a face from her past, she finds that the shadow of the genocide has spread and threatens to engulf her once more. This time, rather than fleeing, she decides to fight the threat to her happiness and her life. Desperate for justice and the truth, Liliane must face up to her own dark secrets and confront a truth more shocking than she could imagine, if she is to leave the shadows of her past behind.
