Não foi dos livros do Ondjaki que mais gostei. É uma história bonita, simples, melosa, que às vezes quase parecia uma fábula. A história cativa no início mas fui perdendo o interesse ao longo do livro. Ainda assim, a escrita é muito boa e algumas personagens estão muito bem construídas e têm muita personalidade.
