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

challenging dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

5.0

Clemantine is a very unlikable person but who am I to judge, you know? I’m not the one who went through a genocide and had to migrate across seven African countries alongside her sister, her sister’s abusive husband, and play mother to her sister’s kids…. 

I always find writing reviews on real stories hard because how can you possibly critiques another person’s real life journey? What are you going to say?
