Proud Songster by Stephen Todd

During a period of 100 days in 1994, a group of Hutu extremists slaughtered an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus. Ordinary citizens were called on by local officials and the Government-funded radio station to kill their neighbours. Those who refused were often killed themselves. Inspired by the Thomas Hardy poem, Proud Songster tells the story of Sarah, a young English teacher, working at a church mission school in Rwanda and the impact of the genocide on her life.
