Synopsis

Arthur Baptiste knows little of Rwanda's past and is unaware of its emerging troubles. He lives on a flower plantation where he talks to no one, until one day Beni appears. Beni is a child much like Arthur but one who lives in a world far different from his own. Their friendship will take them from innocent adventures, to dangerous encounters and on to dark revelations.

Review:

“Nora Anne Brown sympathetically tells this poignant and harrowing tale of lives torn apart and families destroyed.” ―The Good Book Guide

“This exceptional debut novelist brings out the innocence of childhood in a beautiful way that makes the oncoming threat of war even more terrible . . . It is a book that will reward you in plenty.” ―Yorkshire Gazette
