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

5.0

A very well-written book about the Rwandan genocide from the perspective of a woman who managed to escape with her sister and eventually go to the United States. By mixing the past and the present, it avoids “trauma porn” which is seen in many books or films depicting extreme versions of violence for the entertainment of the audience. I’d love to read her other book as well.
