This will make a fascinating book. Hyppolite's determination and sheer will power remind me of Legson Kayira, whose memoir 'I Will Try' describes how, aged 16, he decided he wanted a western education and set off from his village in Nyasaland (now Malawi) to walk to America - and did it. Took him 2 years and was hard going, though he at least didn't have the trauma of genocide and seeing his family hacked to bits to deal with. <br /><br />Yes indeed, what amazing people you meet as a ghost writer! I much look forward to reading your book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
