Product Description

The Daily Mail

Immaculee’s searing account of her ordeal and survival is a moving testament to the indestructibility of the human spirit.


Product Description

Immaculee Ilibagiza grew up in a country she loved, surrounded by a family she cherished. But in 1994 her idyllic world was ripped apart as Rwanda descended into a bloody genocide. Immaculee's family was brutally murdered during a killing spree that lasted three months and claimed the lives of nearly a million Rwandans. Incredibly, Immaculee 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. This is Immaculee's first book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read, Soul-moving., 26 April 2006
By Annah Husayn (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book touched every part of me. The book is so well written and it makes you feel angry, sad and amazed. I started to read it and could not put it down, I carried on reading until I finished the book. How these things happen in the first place is something that is so frightening. Imaculee's strength, resiliance, intelligence, compassion, forgiveness, emotions and view points are those of a saint. She is such a role model to all of us and her strong belief in God and her trust in Him blows you away. This is a must read for everyone that wants to make this world better.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't put this book down., 26 April 2006
By J. Kisseih (Croydon, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read this book from cover to cover in two days and it was like watching a gripping and emotional film (sitting on the edge of the seat the entire time). It is hard to believe that this sort of thing can happen as recently as 1994. It is also terrible to think that the world stood by and let these innocent people get butchered by their fellow citizens - so much for the United Nations! Immaculee - I am sorry you lost your family but glad that you have now found a new life and family in the US.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read, 4 Feb 2007
By Alli "abanasta1" (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I was given this book to read after making rave comments about the equally must read 'We Wish to Inform You' by Philip Gourevitch. In 1994 I was 24 and was oblivious to what was going on in Rwanda and only learned when I watched the film Hotel Rwanda. Immaculee's book is both sad and inspiring and her amazing strength and hopefulness for the future, after what she endured and lost, is an inspiration to us all. What happened in Rwanda should be compulsory reading for all of us and I am ashamed at my country's and Allies' shameful actions and response during the holocaust that happened there. What makes people become such animals is beyond comprehension and i cannot understand how none of the Hutus' hearts softened - I guess a catalogue of events and encouragement from Government level is to blame. Lets pray that nothing like this happens again and harden our resolve here in the West to intervene in the future. Good luck to you Immacculee and I am please that you have now been blessed with happiness.
