Strength in What Remains was at the same time both difficult to read and hard to put down. The graphic violence that Deo, the main character, lived through and witnessed in Burundi and Rwanda was what I found the hardest to read but I didn't feel it was gratuitous. In fact, as horrific as it was, this is actually a portrait of the goodness and strength in the human spirit (both his and others) and I felt it was ultimately a hopeful book. A reminder of what humans can be capable of, needed more than ever these days...
