The Color of Our Sky by Amita Trasi
5.0
Taking place in India between the 90s/early 2000s we meet two young girls Tara and Mukta, both born into the same world, but whose experiences of that world could not be further apart. While Tara is born into a well respected family, Mukta is born into a life as a temple prostitute.
This book is incredible, heartbreaking, beautiful and so important. I cried at multiple points during this story; it was so heart wrenching and powerful. Although this book is fiction it was very hard to read at points knowing that children across the world still have experiences like Mukta did.
Although not an easy read, the author dealt with the subject matter in such a respectful manner and wrote such a beautiful book of survival and love in the hardest of circumstances. I feel that everyone should have this amazing book on their list.
