Ce livre est magnifique ! Je me suis sentie transportée au Burundi et au Rwanda. J’y ai vécu toute la beauté du pays et les horreurs vécues.

just finished this book and I have a gigantic knot in my stomach,
this book was well written, though really slow at the beginning and took time to really get in the story
I’ve opened it and closed it a lot before the election, because it felt that slow, but after it I went on reading and finished it 
I think that people should read this book, because of its history and weight on the then- and now-society

Ce livre m’a beaucoup touché. Et je le recommanderais pas à tout le monde du fait de sa violence particulièrement. De tout les livres que j’ai lu c’est lui qui m’a le plus boulversé surtout sachant que les événements passés sont très récents, cela paraît irréel. On suit l’histoire d’un jeune garçon, Gabriel vivant au Burundi, avec son père français et sa mère Rwandaise, on voit alors le genocide rwandais des Tusti se deroulé. Je ne comprends honnêtement pas qu’on en parle pas plus, ne serait-ce qu’à l’école?
