With What Remains : A Woman's Search for Truth in the Country That Murdered Her Husband

See all formats and editions

This is a powerful true story: returning to Rwanda to discover the truth about her husband's murder, scot Lesley Bilinda uncovered a web of lies, deceit and betrayal that forced her to re-evaluate her relationship with the man and the country she had devoted her life to.

Ten years ago, Lesley wrote the acclaimed book "The Colour of Darkness", a personal account of the horrors of the Rwandan genocide, in which she lost her husband Charles.

For a decade, she has lived with no knowledge of how Charles died, or the identity of his killers.

She returned to Rwanda last year, with a documentary film crew in tow, to uncover the truth.

But, in between traumatic encounters with the men she suspected responsible for his death, a very different truth emerged - Charles had been having an affair before and during their marriage.

This beautifully-written and moving story charts Lesley's physical and emotional journey through a post-genocide Rwanda still shrouded in deceit and confusion.

Despite the painful revelations, she gained a new sense of freedom from knowing the truth, and a fresh belief in herself and in God.
