What a joy this book was to read. One does not come across too many books where you become mesmerized from the very beginning, where you could quite possibly read it from cover to cover in one sitting….it is that good. You will fall in love with the characters, Saara and Denver. Especially Saara when you see how she maintains her dignity and carries on despite her horrendous loss. We, who are so used to what we have and take things so for granted, will find it hard to believe that such ways of life do exist in this day and age. I heartily applaud Ms. Lungu and thank her for this gift.

Twilight in the Morning is more than a compelling love story; rather, it is a love story which addresses complex issues relating to post-genocide Rwanda and the treatment of asylum seekers in the United States. The author writes in a very vivid style which brings the story alive for the reader. I truly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it.

Set against the backdrop of Rwanda and New York, this mesmerizing story about a young nurse who has lost her family, pulls at your heart. Lungu describes a refugee camp in Africa, something which is out of the ordinary for most people. An interesting examination of the differences and simliarities between Africans and African-Americans. She subtly points out the things that Americans take for granted . It reads like a movie. Its easy to imagine the characters up on the big screen.
