Without more, but rewarding though! Do not expect a novel of the scale "Red Brazil," the "Abyssinian" or "Isfahan". This is a zoom on humanitarian world, of its difficulty to carry out its missions and operations which it may be. It is also a reminder of what has been the human disaster in Eritrea. The analysis is insightful, accurate historical content, the romance is just borrowing the necessary emotion without ever spill over into an incongruous sentimentality. It is not the great Rufin, but it is very rewarding and very enjoyable to read. Reading I recommend, if only to better understand the Ethiopian drama. Enjoy reading!
