A review by readlahwei
Not Out of Hate: A Novel of Burma by William Frederick, Margaret Aung-Thwin, Journal Kyaw Ma Ma Lay

4.0

my god, this book was heart-wrenching, and even though i want to say i felt sad reading it, i felt even more angry at a man's suffocating love, and helpless at the protagonist's plight. safe to say, this was a depressing read.

i was not wrong about how much i loved the footnotes on burmese culture, and how the ample footnotes added flavour to my understanding of the story's time, place and people.

will update with a longer review after the discussion with my book club!
