Burnt Shadows by Kamila Shamsie
What this book made me think about: when there are terrible awful things that happen they are happening to normal people who have feelings and families and dreams and lovers, desperation can be destructive, terrible things can't be compared to each other to pick a worse one, how things can never be like they were before
the atomic bombs left the shadows on the ground and when people survived the atomic bombs they went to look for the shadows of their loved ones {I think I'll think about that forever}
HOW COULD THE PRESS OF A BUTTON, THE CHOICE OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE, LEAD TO SOMEONE HAVING TO LOOK FOR THEIR MOTHER'S SHADOW BECAUSE THE REST OF HER IS DECIMATED
WHAT IS WAR WHAT IS PEACE
Abdullah's brother on the peace he wants: "To watch my sons measure hand-span of a pomegranate, not a grenade."
