As a Kosovo albanian, this book is so fucking difficult to read. I really don’t know what I was expecting when I first started it, but not that.
It’s so incredibly depressing. And the main character is so unbelievably cruel, like I legit don’t have any words for him.
What a dark, dark novel with such a haunting ending.
But it’s written so well, and it was hard to put the book down, even if it upset me at times. There’s something so tangible about the way this story is written, like I could reach out and touch it and know exactly what streets are being described, the people, the feelings, the depression and the awfulness of the war here, the aftermath.
I wish it wasn’t this fucking sad though, but it’s a very realistic book and I can’t take that away from it.
I don’t think I’ll ever reread this, but I’m glad to have read it. I know it’ll stay with me for a long time.
Definitely go through the TWs for this one, it’s so heavy at times.
