I really enjoyed the beginning of the book but the pace slowed down near the end even though the ending itself was very interesting and thought provoking

Към края книгата загуби инерцията, която беше набрала, и затова е по-ниската оценка.
Историята се разказва за един сенегалски войник, който отказва да довърши най-добрия си приятел, който е смъртноносно ранен. С това започва историята на Алфа, и чрез неговата и тази на Мадемба.

Unable to kill his friend turned brother at war, he turns to killing the enemies and cutting off their hands and taking it has a trophy. What starts as a means of repentance and survival turns into self-blame and a path for self-forgiveness and acceptance.

This story is told so beautifully and yet so heartbreakingly. You feel like you are at the war front with Alfa, his search for identify and acceptance and his final descent into madness. I really enjoyed reading it and I would like to read more books by this author.
