I read this March 2015
I picked this up when Borders in USA closed,so I have had it for quite a while
This is a biography of Deo a young man from Burundi,escaping the horrors of war an travelling through Rwanda. He manages to get to New York. He had previously been a medical student, but had to take the most menial jobs in the States. He is befriended by a couple who pay for his medical education. The author follows him back to Burundi and tells of all his family's troubles and Deo's attempts to build a medical centre.
I didn't really warm to this book at first but once I did and got into the style I was really captured by the story and enjoyed it.
9/10
