Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Immaculée Ilibagiza
5.0
"God has spared you for a reason," I answered. "I'm writing down your story, and someday someone will read it and know what happened. You're like me - you've been left to tell." Read during my mother's day binge read. Nothing like reading about an inspiring woman on mother's day!
Speedy summary: Ilibagiza's true story of how she survived the Rawandan holocaust
Thoughts: Not only is the book a deep dive into the experiences of a woman through this holocaust, it is a powerful story of traveling to forgiveness and understanding how to end a cycle a cycle of hatred. It is more than just a terrible story. There is hope from Ilibagiza and knowledge of how things can change for the better.
The Rawandan genocide is a difficult thing to read about, but you should. It isn't a portion of history that should be hidden away. Read Machete Season and Life Laid Bare, two other outstanding novels, to learn more about this tradgedy.
