Fires in the Dark by Louise Doughty

5.0

this book was very dark. it focuses on a romani family and their experience of racism in eastern europe, culminating with their experience of the holocaust and concentration camps. I’ve read many books about the holocaust, but never one about the treatment of the roma people, and I think this book should have a more prominent place in holocaust canon. I chose this book, written by an author of romani descent, to read in honor of international roma day.
