Amazing, riveting and very emotional. I was caught up from the very start, and even after finishing the book, it sits with me.
I started the year 2018 reading: Mende Nazer's - The True Story of a Girl's Lost Childhood and Her Fight for Survival and its fitting to finish the year with Tears.
The author, Dr. Bashir, sees all the misfortunes to fall upon her country first hand and undergoes personal horror during peak of mass genocide. With close to half a million people dead since then, not just due to conflict but the aftermath as well, this book gives a deep background on the commonality of Darfur's inhabitants, its culture and its (violent) political history.
Resilience is truly a marvelous thing. Her sense of morality is something else.
