To all hearts, especially the disillusioned ones.She has no idea what she is looking for, she barely knows who she is, so when he comes, she can't grasp what she finds. Flawed declarations of love, empty promises, full-mouthed pretenses, among other things, many stinging contradictions-Clarissa has to face them all. The man she loves sharpens feelings eclipsed deep within her bosom. Between them: a history of blushed gazes, long telephonic exchanges, and, with blissful pain, unforgettable orgasms.

In this trying journey, she's a drop in the ocean that is he, and it is in it that she loses herself over and over. With every one of his comings and goings, she is forced to figure out whether he is what she feels or what she knows to be true. To her ill-luck, her happy ending may also be tied to the death of her greatest love. She believes that the demise of all that ever wronged her will allow her to reclaim her identity and restart.

In the 100 days of genocide that ravaged Rwanda in 1994, one million people were killed and as many as 500,000 women and girls were raped. No one was spared. Grandmothers were raped in front of their grandchildren; young girls witnessed their families being massacred before being taken as sex slaves. Nearly all the women who survived were victims of sexual violence or were profoundly affected by it. An astounding 70 percent are HIV-positive. In Rwanda’s social and cultural climate, survivors who speak out face discrimination and isolation. The Men Who Killed Me features testimonials from 17 Rwandan survivors. Through their narratives and Samer Muscati’s powerful portraits of them, these 16 women and one man bear witness not only to the crimes they and their countrymen endured, but to the incredible courage that has allowed them to survive and flourish.
