Die deutsche Übersetzung ist gelungen. 
Ein Buch, das mir unter die Haut ging und dessen Bilder mir in unterschiedlichen Situationen immer wieder in den Sinn kommen. Ein Roman über ein Massaker, keine einfache Kost, aber mit Bravour geschrieben. Speziell die unkonventionelle Erzählperspektive im ersten Teil des Buches lässt alles näher und unmittelbarer erscheinen. 
Ein Massaker vor mittlerweile über 40 Jahren, das lange keine Aufarbeitung erfahren hat und Menschen, die mit diesen schrecklichen Erfahrungen alleine gelassen wurden; dazu gebracht wurden, darüber zu schweigen. Ein wichtiges Buch, ein hartes Buch zu lesen, trotzdem einfühlsam und zart.
