Review by 100booksyearly - The Girl Who Smiled Beads

challenging dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.75

Raw, urgent, yet disarmingly beautiful, The Girl Who Smiled Beads captures the

true costs and aftershocks of

RWANDAN GENOCIDE.

One of the best trauma memoirs I’ve read.

I so appreciated how Wamaria insist on

telling her story on her terms:

telling us what she wanted to share,

keeping back what’s hers, and not worrying about pissing off anyone to tell her truth.
