Take What You Can Carry by Gian Sardar
5.0
“You earn your place beside someone by not walking away. Even when all you want to do is run.”
Beautiful story set in a part of the world that we rarely get the insiders view. Stories of Iraq are usually told through US military accounts, and while there is Saddam Hussein’s brutality in this book, it’s mostly about the actual families that live in Iraq. It’s about what’s important to them abs how they looked out for their neighbors during unthinkable times. Very much enjoyed this book and it was eye opening to me as well.
