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

emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

I’m not rating the content… this is a memoir and is deeply respected. Rating memoirs always gives me the ick. How can I give “stars” to someone’s real life experiences? The only thing that gives me pause is nonlinear structure in nonfiction. It confuses me sometimes and feels unnecessary when telling a story in a memoir style. Additionally, I purposefully use audiobook format in memoir so that I can hear the literal voice of the author, which I did not get here.
