The Bone Sparrow by Zana Fraillon
4.0
It’s so sad that this book had to be written, what our country is doing to the incredibly brave men, women and children who seek safety here is absolutely disgusting and I am so glad Zana Fraillon chose to depict the refugee camps as they are.
In saying that, this book was incredible. It made me cry on the train today, there was just a real heart in it. The characters were so complicated, and I loved the exploration of found family and of morally grey characters.
I loved the bone sparrow fairytale woven throughout and Subhi’s fantasies grew on me. I don’t think this is really a book that you enjoy reading, but it does get you thinking and feeling very deeply.
