Running the Rift by Naomi Benaron

4.0

In the country so many of us were so ignorant of what was happening in Rwanda, I learned so much from this book. I didn't love the writing style but I was riveted by the story of an love, family, politics, the power of athletics to "almost" overcome the politics of a country. As a Jew, we have learned about the Holocaust- to never forget, but this was happening during our lifetime and the West simply did nothing to stop it.
