Hope Not Fear by Hassan Akkad
5.0
it feels it would be inhumane to rate this book anything less than 5 stars. This book is truly heartbreaking but also incredibly heartwarming - his account is a reminder of how much we can gain as a society when we welcome others in. Hassan is so vulnerable in his story telling, recounting severe physical and emotional trauma and for that i am grateful he found the strength to tell his story. Finally, his ability to centre so many other people and their hardships and stories within his is the skill of a true story teller and he is an asset to our society and humanity. I think this book is an important read for everyone.
This book is incredibly powerful and also incredibly hard to read at times.
