Description
'A beacon of hope in a dark world' Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Pool One night last winter, when Antoine Leiris was at home looking after his baby son, his wife H�l�ne was killed, along with 88 other people, at the Bataclan Theatre in Paris. Three days later, Antoine wrote an open letter to his wife's killers on Facebook. He refused to be cowed or to let his baby son's life be defined by their acts. 'For as long as he lives, this little boy will insult you with his happiness and freedom,' he wrote. Instantly, that short post caught fire and was shared thousands of times around the world. You Will Not Have My Hate is an extraordinary and heartbreaking memoir which teaches us how to respond with generosity and love to a world full of hatred. This is the rare and unforgettable testimony of a survivor, and a universal message of hope and resilience in our troubled times.
