Description
Running the Rift tells the story of a young athlete's quest for Olympic glory in a country torn apart by conflict. As tensions rise between the Hutu and Tutsi, Jean Patrick holds fast to his dream that running might deliver him - and his people - from the brutality around them.
The novel explores Rwanda's unraveling and tentative new beginning through the eyes of one unforgettable boy, revealing a country's struggle for identity and the love that binds its people together. With stunning prose, Naomi Benaron crafts a powerful and moving tale of hope and resilience.
