Book Reviews of A Sunday at the Pool in Kigali
Book Review: Compelling, Chilling
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually read this in one sitting - so drawn was I by the inexorable flow in the narrative. It builds in an utterly chilling way to its conclusion in the insanity that was rwanda in 1994. Amazing and humbling to believe that such a holocuast could occur in ones lifetime with the minimum of intervention or coverage. It is not just the subject matter that is bewitching though. The writing, the pace, the dialogue, the depth of characters all build into a rare and excellent work. Not one for reading for entertainment on holiday, but should be pretty much compulsive for anyone with an interest in people and events. stunning stuff.
