The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State by Nadia Murad

5.0

Nadia Murad's gut-wrenching story is one I've always known existed (hundreds of thousands like it exist), but have chosen to avoid up until now. I read this with a lot of shame- not only for my ignorance regarding genocide and how it happens all around us, but also for my willful lack of prior engagement on the topic. As someone who considers herself both well-read and globally conscious, I had no idea how little I knew. These are our sisters, and we can not look away. This book is a must read.
