戦争や植民地化という残酷で暴力的な環境の中で語られる美しい物語。

人々の生活や愛情は、戦争という外部の環境によってボロボロに破壊されるということを忘れてはいけない。
アフリカの人々の人生は、ヨーロッパ人が勝手に始めた戦争、つまりアフリカに住む人々とは全く関係のない殺し合いビジネスによって左右される。
それでも彼らは確実に自分たちのものである小さな幸せや悲しみをしっかりと握りしめる。
そんな狂暴な環境でも、植民地主義上の植民者と先住民でありながらも少しマジカルなでも一人間同士の関係も描かれていて少し希望を持つこともできる。

🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
A beautiful story told in a cruel and violent environment; war and colonisation. 

It's a reminder that people's loves get messed up by the external horrible business of war, like African lives affected by wars that are happening in Europe, "nothing to do with us" 
But importantly, their lives can continue they can have little happiness or sadness that are their own, they must cling to them.
And a little magical and personal relationships with the coloniser and colonised makes the story hopeful, despite the violence that's surrounding them.
