"Spring 1994. Kigali, Rwanda’s capital city, deep in the heart of Africa. Bernard Valcourt is a man divided between hope and disillusionment. In Africa to shoot a documentary on the devastation wreaked by AIDS, Valcourt watches on as tensions rapidly escalate between Tutsis and Hutus. At the Hôtel Des Mille Collines, home to expatriates, Valcourt falls madly in love with Gentille, a beautiful Rwandan waitress. Though she feels the same way, their romance grows in fits and starts; she is so young and he – he is so white...In spite of their differences, Gentille and Valcourt throw caution to the wind and marry. And then war breaks out. Amidst the ensuing chaos the lovers are brutally separated. Valcourt searches desperately for his wife, but, because of his status as a foreigner, is forced to leave the country. Months later. Rwanda is stained with the blood of close to a million Tutsis but order has been restored. Valcourt returns to Kigali in search of his wife. But with many survivors displaced from their homes and some living in refugee camps across borders, his task is a difficult one. Amidst this chaos, will Valcourt find Gentille? And if he does, will they recapture their love or will the scars of Africa’s most brutal war run too deep? A beautiful love story set against the horror of genocide, A Sunday in Kigali paints, with clarity and compassion, a picture of the horror and the hope that reside in the human heart."--Container.
