Adults rarely like being told that they don't have all the answers, or worse still, that the answers they do have are all the wrong ones.
If you want to start an explosion, you light a match in the dynamite factory.

The writer's voice and style is captivating, really putting the reader in the shoes of Melati as she attempts to navigate horrific events while finding her own strength and courage. Really, this book has multiple different stories tied up in it and I'm just blown away by how much of the conflict the author was able to portray from the eyes of those who were caught in it.
This is another book that should be taught in schools instead of some of the other garbage.
