Jean Patrick Nkuba dreams of becoming the first Rwandan to run in the Olympics, but Jean is a Tutsi and his kind are not supposed to win. But when the president's sudden assassination plummets the country into chaos - Jean has to run, run from everyone and everything he knew, to survive. Evoking the raw beauty of Rwanda and the tragedy of its recent past, this is a novel of a people's trauma, of lives lost and of loves salvaged.
