Product Information

If reading isn’t so much your thing, there’s a movie to get a sense of what happened.: Hotel Rwanda (2004) where a hotel manager houses over a thousand Tutsi refugees during their struggle against the Hutu militia in Rwanda. Written with a restraint and simplicity that touches directly…on the heart of life, on the eye of the cyclone. There is a force to these words, something that delves into the most profound depths of things. Scholastique Mukasonga’s voice is as if broken away from the night, taut but pure, clear, vibrant, with a tranquil force…Read it.”— Farenheit 451

The writing is eloquent, fluent and lively, giving the opportunity to the readers to go deep into Harry’s inner world and to bond with him. In her adopted home of France, Mukasonga looks at a photograph of her family on the day her younger sister got married. All the people in the photograph are dead now. the book starts in the late of 1950th where the author was born in southwest of Rwanda, in Gikongoro province, high-altitude rainforest,although the author doesn't remember her birthplace she still recalls her mom stories of the place of the wheat that grows in that altitude and the endless battles she had with the monkeys Scholastique Mukasonga tells us her heartbreaking flight from Rwanda during ethnic cleansing. Unearthing precious memories about those she lost is the beauty in the atrocities. What greater depths of pain than losing your family and so senselessly. We hear these horrors on the news, feel pain but it passes until another event takes it's place. In memoirs we personalize it, connect to suffering and allow it to burrow in our hearts. It certainly must have been a painful process excavating the past and yet there are beautiful reflections such as the story telling, the spirituality, the laundry washing in the lake water (where there are crocodiles), working fields after school. There is a gorgeous sense of community that so many of us don't have.This passage stands out the most for me. This book is a powerful look into the life of a refugee in Canada. The cab driver who was tortured for fighting for democracy, the waitress who was brutally raped every day for years in jail, while her torturer now has diplomatic immunity in Canada, the bus boy with PTSD over the death of his sister. All of these people are displaced and trying to come to terms with living in a new country with a new language and unspoken codes of conduct. Una novela bastante leible, aunque muuuy lejos de lo que fue leer “Snowman” (#7), e incluso algo lejos de “The Bat” (#1). Sin embargo, una lectura suficientemente entretenida como para mantener el interés y para pasar un rato policial. Y siempre es un placer ver a Harry Hole hacer un verdadero desastre de todas las cosas antes de finalmente arreglarlo. This book is why I don't read much Arabic books: cheap pornographic shallow cliché, a sad excuse of a book!

Quiero desatacar lo principal de la historia: la pedofilia. Un tópico asqueroso, pero en el contexto de esta historia se trata de una forma muy interesante y quizás desde otro ángulo y Nesbo no deja dudas en transmitir que la pedofilia es algo asqueroso y repugnante por donde se le mire.

A politician murdered in very politically incorrect circumstances, an extremely delicate situation, and a brilliant detective determined to making it worse. WOW. This was my first five star read of 2021. Inyenzi ou les cafards is the testimony of a woman who lost nearly 40 family members during the 1994 genocide agains the Tutsi in Rwanda. By bearing witness to the horrors her family had to endure, she forces us readers to do the same. To not look away. To name these crimes by their proper name: a genocide. Mukasonga pleads with the reader that this genocide must be vocalised, the names of the hundreds of thousand victims cannot be forgotten.
