Review

A truly great story that takes us through the life journey of the author, all while being grounded in a rich and well-explained historical context. I especially appreciated how the theme of migration was portrayed — the sense of loneliness and displacement really came through, and it resonated deeply with me due to some of my own life experiences.

The political backdrop is also very well handled, offering a multi-perspective view that adds depth and meaning to the narrative.

👉 I definitely recommend this book, especially for those interested in personal stories interwoven with major historical and political themes.
