The book starts with a fairly peaceful setting of family life in Burundi in the 1990s. French father, Rwandan mother (Tutsi), two children - Gabriel (Gaby) and Ana. Mother and father not getting along, the children playing with friends in the little impasse near their home. A trip to Rwanda for a hasty marriage and catch up with family members and the cracks begin to show. Abused at a check point on their way to the wedding Gaby (through whose eyes the story is told) starts to realize that it matters if you're Hutu or Tutsi or even French. Then, the presidents of Rwanda and Burundi are killed when their plane is shot down and the hell of the genocide that the world gradually learnt about begins. What then happens to the family is almost too painful to read. Their world is destroyed for ever.
Incredibly believable, I felt I'd just been through a war zone by the end of the book.
