Jacaranda
Lau_of_the_goureux rated ★ 6/10
J’aime le style d’écriture de Gaël Faye et j’ai appris beaucoup de choses sur le génocide qui a eu lieu au Rwanda. Pour autant, je n’ai pas été totalement captivée par ce roman, je ne me suis pas attachée aux personnages et j’ai même commencé un autre roman avant de terminer celui-ci.
