emotional informative tense slow-paced

4.25

Hamut Izgil‘s account skillfully paints a picture of Uyghur life under the repressive system of the Chinese government, interweaving a personal report on the advancement of the genocide with anecdotes of everyday life and his own poems. It is a heartbreaking and infuriating book but also filled with so much love – for his family, his friends, his culture and his homeland. I highly recommend.
