What Strange Paradise by Omar El Akkad
5.0
My gosh. This book makes me emotional just thinking about it as I write this review. This book is simply breathtaking.
It is phenomenal and I actually would like to re-read and purchase the physical copy as soon as I can (I read this book initially via audiobook through the Libby app). I think that this is a heartbreaking and emotional read - if you want to know more about the global refugee crisis, read this book. Honestly, just pick it up and read. You will learn a plethora of information that will tug at your heartstrings and will be provided with a vital lens to view it through - through the eyes of a child.
Content Warnings: death, xenophobia, racism, war, child death, emesis, trafficking, pregnancy.
