Against the Loveless World
by Susan Abulhawa
dark
emotional
sad
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
A difficult read for sure (due to the subject matter), but eye-opening. Abulhawa's writing transported me into Nahr's world, unflinchingly capturing the perspective of a woman whose life is shaped by conflict. Nahr's story will definitely stick with me.
