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

4.0

It always feels weird to rate someone's actual experiences that they lived. I don't know what I'm supposed to say about that. But as memoirs go, this was very well done. It was honest, it was uncomfortable and nuanced, and it was a take on the Rwandan genocide, refugees, and families that go through that kind of thing that I hadn't read before.
