This made me think of Marjorie Agostin's two YA books, starting with "I Lived on a Butterfly Hill" which brought Chilean dictature in light, but in a mystic way... Somehow veiled for children, but still there in all its brutality.
I'm definitely adding Mukasonga on my reading list. Thank you!
Hello, Elina! Thanks for the comment and sharing your own recommendation! I don't know Agostin but am going to look her up right now. :) I love YA that speaks powerfully to youth and adults at the same time.
What a beautifully interesting book and review!

Yay! Let me know if you liked it. I really did, both books.
