Synopsis :

Over a Thousand Hills I Walk with You Originally published in German: Stuttgard, Germany: Thienemann Verlag, 2002. Full description

Quatrième de couverture: 'At its heart the Rwandan tragedy was profoundly
personal. Personal for every man, woman and child who experienced the terror, who lost those they loved. This novel captures with great poignancy the terrible cost to the youngest and most vulnerable.' FERGAL KEANE

'This is an extraordinary and devastating book. It needs to be on the school curriculum, like the Diary of Anne Frank, or All Quiet on the Western Front. I will never forget it.' Emma Thompson

'At times I couldn't bear to carry on reading, I was so deeply affected by it.' Berlie Doherty

Based on the true story of Jeanne, an 8-year-old girl who survived the Rwandan genocide of 1994, the only member of her family who did. Here her adoptive mother Hanna Jansen retells her story with a clarity and honesty that is at once moving and inspiring. It was one of the world's most recent and bloody periods of history.
