eurrrrrrrgh this is a difficult one to rate. The story could be SO gripping at times. I don't want to spoil the plot (to my three goodreads friends lmao) but the author did a great job showing how quickly civil war can unravel, and why it isn't so easy to pack up your bags and leave. Hindsight is always 20/20! This made the book frustrating to read at times (aka so many tragedies could have been avoided), but I guess that's the whole point!!
I can't rate this book higher because the writing style really got to me. The absence of quotation marks for dialogue was SO CONFUSING. Constant time jumps/ setting jumps without a proper paragraph break - what was this stylistic decision???????????? It did not add to the tense atmosphere of the book - it just made ur gorl confused lol.

I couldn't really connect with it, I think because of the writing style. It's sort of stream of consciousness and there aren't really breaks for dialogue. I can usually read stylized writing like this, but here I think it was impacting my ability to connect emotionally with and care about the story.

Un livre très particulier par son sujet comme par son écriture mais quelle écriture !
Une dystopie qui finalement n’est pas loin de certaines réalités, l’absurdité de l’être humain, la position de pouvoir des hommes, la violence vécue par une mère qui fera tout pour sa famille, les autres avant tout, s’oubliant pour leur survie, elle passe après. Tout cela vu par les yeux, le coeur et les tripes de cette femme incroyable de résilience pour continuer à avancer dans ce monde fou ou plutôt de fous.
