Je n’ai pas été emballée par l’écriture, trop simpliste à mon goût. Toutefois, je dois reconnaître la justesse de ce récit qui parvient à nous toucher et nous force à regarder la dure réalité en face.

If you like being on a roller-coaster of emotions and graphic, like REALLY graphic scenes, this is for you. I was chuckling at one second and the next I was feeling like I could vomit, don't watch this while eating.

This was a beautiful but absolutely heart wrenching story to read. You knew from the start that horrific events were going to happen, and you were just waiting for them

L'histoire émouvante d'un jeune garçon qui grandit dans l'ombre du génocide rwandais et de la guerre civile burundaise. Ce serait un bon roman à explorer dans un cours d'histoire ou de français au secondaire.
