The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After by Clemantine Wamariya

dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This book was originally for a class and I never got around to reading it. I'm glad I finally got to it because it was such a great read. It was really powerful, and the way Wamariya talked about her anger and her experiences was really insightful. I liked the format of going past and future. I think Wamariya's exploration of her relationships with her family and other people who tried to provide support whether sincerely or insincerely is where this really excelled.
