Repetitive sentences were a bit hard for me to get into the story at first, but I was horrified reading the last chapter and went back to the first page again, then the story felt different with more understanding about the background.
A dark and powerful novella about the violence and madness caused by war and colonialism.

“God’s truth, that’s how things go, that’s how the world is: each thing is double.”
Jesus Christ. This was such a searing experience. I couldn’t put the book down…I literally read it all in one sitting.
