an all girls school for the ‘elite’ was a really interesting vehicle for demonstrating Rwandas racial tensions and violence at the time. the author does a sensational job of conveying the mounting tensions between the teenage girls and the people around them. yet, the writing didn’t fully engage me and I kinda struggled to connect to the characters & it faltered in consistently holding my interest.
