readingmaria 's review for:
North of Dawn
by Nuruddin Farah
*4.5!
Where do I even begin with this book? It was a slow burn kind of family drama novel that just keeps you rooting for most of the characters. I am in awe of this, and how heartfelt this novel was when reading. You really feel what it’s like to be a refugee in a strange country that already has its own preconceived notions and suspicions about you.
I will say though, this writing style isn’t for everyone. The jump between timelines/different sections wasn’t always clear, and it did take some reconfiguring to realize what just happened. It’s not my personal favourite, but the book and the characters speak for themselves!
If you’re looking for a different view, a different story, then I highly recommend this one!
