A review by georgie_mb
This Hostel Life, by Melatu Uche Okorie
5.0
*kindly gifted to me by Little Brown*
Such a powerful selection of short stories, highlighting topics that I didn't know much about before reading this (the direct provision system in Ireland, how everyday racism is waved off as something not that important, and asylum seekers).
The stories always picked us up and left us in a good place, so much so that I wanted to read on and find out what happened to the characters.
I whizzed through this, but it still left quite an impact on me afterwards.
