The book tackles the theme of how come normal people can commit war crimes. A brave attempt, but I'm not sure I was convinced enough. It was also a strange plot for several reasons. One that all the time you could see what was going to happen next, so there were  no real surprises.  I don't know if this was on purpose,  with deliberate hints so that wr could guess, or that there was meant to be more success.
The book did make me wonder what it would be like to walk (or perhaps cycle] the Camio. Who knows, maybe it will have a lasting impact that way?
