Ce n'est pas le meilleur Jonquet mais ce roman est néanmoins intéressant par sa dénonciation de la barbarie de la guerre dont les enfants sont souvent les premières (et pourtant innocentes victimes). Ce récit vaut également pour sa terrible actualité alors que nous sommes 45 ans après les faits. Rien n'a malheureusement beaucoup changé entre l'Iran de 1980 et ce pays aujourd'hui.
