Against the Loveless World by Susan Abulhawa
5.0
A beautifully written, chilling, and relevant read. Nahr’s story offers an important perspective that forces us to both reckon with the horrific state of the world and put ourselves in her shoes and wonder what we would do there.
One of my favorite parts of this book was the juxtaposition of the pure, tender and authentic love that grew between Nahr and Bilal while violence and hatred raged around them.
On a lighter note, the sap and hopeless romantic in me delighted in this story ending with hope and, as Susan put it, joy. That despite living through unimaginable horrors your entire life, love and human connection can buoy your soul in the darkest of times.
Thank you, Susan, for this history lesson, reality check, and love story. ❤️🇵🇸
