A review by octavia_cade
Cockroaches by Scholastique Mukasonga

dark emotional sad medium-paced

5.0

There's one quiet, awful little sentence towards the end of this book, where the author goes back to the place she grew up, and where thirty seven members of her family died in the Rwandan genocide. She says, of that destroyed community, that there's no longer a school, because there are no longer any children.

I think that might be my entire review. There's nothing else to say that will make any of this better.
