Kill the Devil: A Love Story from Rwanda

by Tony Macaulay, Juvens Nsabimana

"You can run and leave a place behind, but you can't leave behind what is running inside of you."

A woman and a man, nearly destroyed by extreme violence, hatred and despair, follow a rare and unexpected path, and discover extreme forgiveness, love and hope.

Three fishermen pull a near lifeless woman from a lake; having suffered unimaginable loss, Patricia's life is empty and her only motivation to go on is to bring the one responsible to justice. Always on the verge of running, a man hides from his guilt in Kigali, terrified of his anonymity being compromised and his past uncovered.

Shining a light on the remarkable, untold stories of reconciliation in Rwanda since the genocide in 1994, Kill the Devil is a love story between a survivor and a perpetrator of genocide in a lesson for our times and for all time...

Amazing story of hope and reconciliation. Eye opening to the tragedy and history of the 1994 genocide. A reminder of what hateful speech aimed at one particular group can do to infiltrate minds and condone violence. But also a reminder of the goodness and life-changing effect of forgiveness. Everyone should read this book!

I loved this book. There's not much to say. Well-written, well-structured, gripping plot. A fantastic read.

The authors did not shy away from the brutally wrenching agony of the 1994 Rwandan genocide nor the intense emotions around whether and how to reconcile victims and perpetrators.
