Nida is a poet who is inspired by her uncle. Her uncle is currently in prison, wrongfully accused of terrorism. She is in a public park and goes to pray, and she is illegally frisked by officers. Her poetry letter to the senator who stood by and let it happen goes viral.
I really loved this one. It was a gorgeous, difficult book to read. Audio was definitely the way to go, as there are intermingled poems here with the story. You could feel the emotion dripping from the narrator’s voice. I loved how poetry brought the generations together even as it also tore them apart. The family history was amazing.
There were so many great lines in this one too about family, hope, love, and loss.
It truly was a beautiful book and I will be thinking about it for a long time. Incredibly well written and emotionally vulnerable.
