“have their souls also escaped their bodies, flying away like birds?”
“There will be no forgiveness.”
“our soldiers are shooting. They’re shooting at us.”
I think that this book is an important piece of literature that many people should read (check the trigger warnings before tho!!), therefore I gave it a rating bc in today’s society I think people are more likely to read books with good ratings. So pls keep in mind that this rating isn’t about the story contained inside, more so for the writing and the importance of the story itself.
If you can, please read this book.

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.
