Five-year-old Alice enjoys a peaceful childhood with her parents and little sisters, but life as she knows it is about to change forever as the genocide of the Tutsis erupts, forcing her to flee her village with her family. It is on the hot roads of the Democratic Republic of Congo, known then as Zaire, that Alice grows up, bouncing from one refugee camp to another, seeking some semblance of a normal life in between violent attacks, with death always lurking around the corner. With Alice, Gaspard Talmasse delivers a singular testimony, capturing with painful emotion a relentless world as seen thorough the eyes of an innocent child: one who grew up to become the author's own life partner.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 259mmItem Length: 193mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 522gAuthor: Gaspard TalmasseTranslator: Nanette McGuinnessContributor: Nanette McGuinness (Translated by)Genre: MangaRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
