A review by archerkel
Memory of Departure by Abdulrazak Gurnah

2.0

This book was hard for me to read. It is not one I ever would have picked up on my own and had it not been a bookseller recommendation I would not have finished it. Be that as it may, I was glad that I stuck with it. Even though it is a deep and difficult read, it allowed me perspective of a time, culture, and country I know little about. The author words create a flow that makes the reading enjoyable even with the difficult story.

This isn't a book I would recommend for fun, but I would recommend it as a story full of experiences and emotions. Something different, heart wrenching, and surprising contemplation.
