bethanybeyondthejordan 's review for:
We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled: Voices from Syria
by Wendy Pearlman
Audio. And the audio was So. Well. Done. with the various voice actors and their true-to-the-area accents. That made it an even better listening experience.
Stunning and also difficult. These vignettes together paint a picture of the heartbreak and resilience of the Syrian people in the last decade or two. It is achingly hopeful.
Also, what a time to read this book (the week before America’s 2020 presidential elections) because it tells the story of how a people can be so broken by leadership regimes.
Perhaps the most haunting concept for me: most kids focus on school to get good jobs. Our kids are focused on getting a job so they can finish their education. It shouldn’t be this way.
