Since her childhood there were signs of what was brewing. Her family had been expelled from its home village in 1959 to a refugee camp.The Rwandan government put severe limitations on the number of Tutsis who could attend secondary school, but the author was one of those who did gain a place, boarding in a school 45km from her home. When returning home in the school holidays, she dreaded crossing a particular bridge which was always guarded by soldiers. The girls returning home would be forced to line up, at which the soldiers would spit in their faces, hit them with rifle butts, stamp on their bare feet with their Army boots etc. I think part of the explanation for this is simply that some people gain satisfaction and a sense of status from demonstrating their power over others. To accomplish these ends, the government assigns Detective Harry Hole to go to Bangkok and assist the locals in the investigation. Hole has just gained some notoriety for solving a difficult case involving the death of a Norwegian citizen in Australia and thus to all outward appearances, seems an ideal choice. At the moment, however, Harry can most often be found in an alcoholic fog and not at his detecting best. The expectation is that Harry will go to Thailand for a few days, drink himself into a stupor, and allow the locals to sweep the whole embarrassing incident under the rug.

I know that I have been woefully ignorant of the scope of what happened in Rwanda over the years and in 1994. This book was overdue for me and I believe so many others should read it. As has been said innumerable times before, if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. This is difficult but necessary reading as Mukasonga takes us through to her return after the genocide to the destroyed village and the remnants of her childhood.

the book starts in the late of 1950th where the author was born in southwest of Rwanda, in Gikongoro province, high-altitude rainforest,although the author doesn't remember her birthplace she still recalls her mom stories of the place of the wheat that grows in that altitude and the endless battles she had with the monkeys In this second instalment for the long-running series, Harry Hole is send to Thailand to investigate the death of the Norwegian ambassador to that country. The Foreign Office stresses the need for discretion and for cooperation with the local police, but Harry has his own way of doing things. Publishers Weekly stated that it is a "powerful and poignant book [that] plants itself in that terrible absence, its stone etched with a difficult, necessary grief."

But so many others are not. I hate it. It's about all of the clichés that frame immigrants : messed up, psychotic, sex-addicts, egocentric, psychopaths, thiefs, hallucinating drunkies, drug addicts, filthy, leeches,...

Bertrand Russell was all alone when he condemned “the most horrible and systematic human massacre we have had occasion to witness since the extermination of the Jews by the Nazis.” The Catholic church, the former mandate authority, the international criminal courts, none of them had anything to say, apart from denouncing Inyenzi terrorism.” Jo Nesbø succeeded Stieg Larsson as the go-to Scandinavian crime writer on the strength of the Harry Hole novels. Even if you don’t consider yourself a fan of Scandi and have never read Nesbø, you shouldn’t give him a miss. Nesbø produces quality crime fiction books for the same reason as authors like Michael Connelly, Lee Child, Harlan Coben, and James Patterson do. It’s the same secret sauce—strong and complex characters, imaginative plotting, ample action, and a detective who uses realistic problem-solving skills to solve a mystery and bring the baddies to justice. Still, what sets Nesbø apart is his ability to inject suspense into his stories. I’ve literally grown so uncomfortable with the suspense while reading a Nesbø book, I’ve had to put it aside for a while to recover my equilibrium before continuing to read. In terms of learning about the effects of colonialism on Rwanda, there are two things that I found most noteworthy: First of all, how the work of Christian missionaries infiltrated the whole of society so that Mukasonga's mother was scared of the religion of her own ancestors, she "hadn't been taught to read, she hadn't been taught to write, she had been taught to pray." A politician murdered in very politically incorrect circumstances, an extremely delicate situation, and a brilliant detective determined to making it worse. brandname στην αστυνομική λογοτεχνία, και να τοποθετήσει την ιστορία στην Μπανγκόκ.

Un tópico asqueroso, pero en el contexto de esta historia se trata de una forma muy interesante y quizás desde otro ángulo y Nesbo no deja dudas en transmitir que la pedofilia es algo asqueroso y repugnante por donde se le mire. Lucas, Julian (February 22, 2018). "Fatal beauty". The New York Review of Books. 65 (3): 27–29. - Cited: p. 29 I adored how skillfully Nesbo put his ideas across. He developed a well-plotted story giving the insights into people, culture and the geography of Thailand. Throughout the story he demonstrated us the source of evil that keep haunting his inspector, making him the person who is displaying to be. A reflection. Not who he really is. What is more, he brings up important issues such as pederasty, pedophilia and sex industry that bothers not only Bangkok but also a great variety of countries all over the world. Mukasonga still lives in France today. She works as the judicial representative for the Union départementale des associations familiales de Calvados and has published many more books. It has taken her more than ten years to fain the courage to return to Rwanda, which she did in 2004. The last chapter of Inyenzi ou les cafards details her experience travelling to all the significant places of her childhood and young adolescence, the house where her parents where killed only to find that their former residence had been cleared away. Some things she only fully realised once she stood before them. It was tragic to see how a part of her still held out the hope, despite knowing it better, that she would find them to be alive. It is so human, to hold onto hope.
