Welcome to Litsy!

This ibook s fascinating. The female main character is a scientist in the 2000s with Asperger‘s, so her parts of the story describe how she approaches the world so differently. For example, when she entered a room she only looked at the people‘s feet because faces are too chaotic for her to handle. I find her story so compelling. I‘m not quite into the 1899 part of the story yet but I‘m thinking the male MC may have a mild form of “aspies.” ⬇️

Before reading this one check the content warnings. This is a historical fiction about children who are turned into soldiers.

Angel is in Rwanda after the genocide while her husband works at the university. She raises her grandchildren and bakes cakes for events in order to make money. The tough topics of genocide and AIDS are not glossed over in this book, but it is full of hope and the power people have when they work together. A book I would have never read if it weren‘t for #FoodAndLit #Rwanda

I‘m starting this book for #Rwanda #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

It‘s starting to feel like summer (although the weather says winter again next week.) Not my cat and I will enjoy it while it lasts.

“We are Catholics,” explained Angel, “but in Rwanda we‘re simply Christians. I‘m nervous of attending just one church here, of listening to just one priest. Because how can we know what is in the priest‘s heart after so many showed that love and peace were only words in their mouths?” #FoodAndLit #Rwanda

Reading this weekend for #FoodAndLit #Rwanda
