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?
