The men, they come into the church.They take a few of the old ones. I hear these sounds out in the hills.Horrible horrible sounds. Father said they wouldn’t hurt the children.—Sister AliceA disgraced New York Times journalist arrives in Rwanda for an exclusive interview with two Hutu nuns. Charged with homicide, the nuns must convince the world of their innocence during the 1994 genocide or face a lifetime in Pr*son. When an unknown survivor contradicts their story, this journalist must choose which version of the truth to tell the world, but he can only do that by walking in the shoes of those who survived.“Fast-paced, fluid, and taut.” —The New York Times“Five stars!
