Take What You Can Carry by Gian Sardar

4.0

I received this book through a Goodreads Giveaway. I have a basic understanding of the Kurdish struggles, but this story brought it to life and was simply heart-wrenching. In most stories, MC development is solid, but other characters often times are not; that was not true here. I felt like there were at least a half dozen characters who I knew well enough to care about and a few more who I understood well enough to appreciate their motivations. It was a beautiful, painful story full of events that led to Olivia finding a greater awareness of her world and her place in it.
