Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski

5.0

No matter what happens in the world, however brutal or dystopian a thing, not all is lost if there are people out there risking themselves to document it. Little sparks cause fires, too.

This book is so many things, but the one that really struck me is it's so real. It's amazing how the author managed to make me feel so many things in just 190 pages. It has everything: love and loss, different political views, dreamers and realists, power and shame, fights and surrenders. It's a little gem in a sea so big it's becoming difficult to find books that really leave you something.

Some people, some events, make you lose your head. They're like guillotines, cutting your life in two, the dead and the alive, the before and after.
