Behind You Is the Sea by Susan Muaddi Darraj
reflective
tense
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
Ahhh I’m a sucker for intertwining stories!!
Each character and every story gripped my attendant and my heart.
I went into this thinking it was going to be devastatingly sad but really it felt so true to many aspects of an immigrant community.
This was engaging and thought provoking while also feeling immensely raw and revealing of things loads of families just don’t speak of.
I will be thinking about these stories for a long time and will most likely reread.
