The Flower Plantation
Arthur Baptiste knows little of Rwanda’s past and is unaware of its emerging troubles. He lives on a flower plantation where he talks to no one, until one day Beni appears. Beni is a child much like Arthur but one who lives in a world far different from his own. Their friendship will take them from innocent adventures, to dangerous encounters and on to dark revelations.
