The Storm We Made by Vanessa Chan
5.0
The Storm We Made follows the stories of one family from the 1930s when Malaya was occupied by the British, through to the mid 1940s when Japanese forces had taken over and occupied Malaya.
Through switching perspectives, we see multiple members of this family fighting to survive through a turbulent time and multiple heartbreaking events.
Throughout this novel I was enthralled. From the richly developed characters, to the well described setting. I felt as though I was right there with the characters.
This book is an emotional one. Shining light onto the horrific events many had to live through. All while weaving a complex story of how decisions have a lasting effect.
I truly loved this book.
