A story to answer the age-old question: can love conquer all?

Remember the Nightingale is set in a village three hours south of Kigali, Rwanda, Remember the Nightingale tells the story of Evariste and Gaeton. In April 1994, Evariste is a fourteen-year-old reveling in young love. She is the daughter of cattle herders: they have 12 head of cattle, making them both legally Tutsi and also wealthy. She loves to dance, she’s inquisitive, and she is smart. Gaeton is three years older than Evariste and the son of a farmer. He is a Hutu. He dreams of being treated fairly; of earning respect. Most of all ,he loves Evariste. This is how their love is tested when the One Hundred Day massacre breaks out, and how to forgive a betrayal that destroys innocence.
