A review by sebby_reads
The Return: Fathers, Sons and the Land in Between by Hisham Matar

4.0

A beguilingly written memoir yet it is so suffocating to read. I was mostly in awe for the his impeccable proses but sometimes got lost in many of his intertwining flashbacks. And truthfully, the intricacy in his writings was sometimes difficult for me to fathom and I had to read a few more times.
Nonetheless, together with the writer, I felt the agonising suffering he had encountered. More frightening and despicable than that is, several Libyans had to endure these actual torturous events and many had been brutally killed.
