Tears of the Desert: A Memoir of Survival in Darfur by Halima Bashir

5.0

This book was absolutely gutting. The author's story is so brutal it's hard to comprehend at times, but it is so beautifully written that you can't put it down. Of the many Genocide books I've read, this story of Darfur is my favorite. It's eye-opening and humbling, and the author's bravery is inspiring. The brutality in Darfur is ongoing TODAY and the very, very least you can do is learn about it. I highly recommend this one.
