- My Darling Lovemore If you are reading this, it means that God and Agrippina both did what I asked of them. Now this is what I ask of you:1 Always remember that everything I did was for you.2 Work your hardest and do your best to achieve your goals.3 Don’t believe any man’s lies. Let my mistakes die with me.4 Don’t let me become extinct through you. When you are grown, have at least 1 child. 5But there is no number five. Maybe Mama ran out of instructions, which was not like Mama at all, or maybe she just got tired, which was like her near the end.Is this note really all there is of Mama’s letter to her daughter?Growing up, Lovemore always believed her Mama’s lies about her baba being late, so reading her mother's diaries brings her some shocking revelations. It had always been a secret that Uncle Joseph was Lovemore’s father because Uncle Joseph had a whole other family, a wife and three children. She thought she had already cried all her tears about losing Uncle Joseph, so there were not many more tears for him left inside her. Angel and Pius Tungaraza are trying hard to welcome another child into their family; but will Lovemore be able to break free of the past?Kilimanjaro Snow is the third book featuring Angel Tungaraza, following Baking Cakes in Kigali and When Hoopoes Go To Heaven.“A sweetly rendered novel… Baking Cakes contemplates the difficult lives of the survivors of genocide… and African women's struggle for independence in a straightforward yet touching way.” - USA Today“With gentle humour and a gift for detail, [Parkin] brings Rwanda to life, with its physical beauty, food and customs. [The novel] is fluent and deeply moving, especially in its portrayal of women survivors” - The Independent“An irresistible story of laughter and hope” - The Bookseller
