The setting for In the Shadow of 10,000 Hills is Lillian's home, aptly named Kwizera. In the African language kinyarwands, the word kwizera means belief and hope. It is belief and hope that Nadine, Lilian, and Rachel all hold on to and that keeps them going. Their belief and hope becomes a commentary on the war and genocide of Rwanda. Ultimately, this is a book about survival and about the triumph of hope and love, a memorable story and history that should be remembered.
