The Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf

5.0

This book beautifully and painfully tells the story of the Malaysian race riots in 1969 (an event that I hadn't even heard of before finding this book) as well as a haunting depiction of OCD. Although the story is gripping and really well-written, it is also very intense: within the first few chapters, I cried so hard I thought I was going to throw up... But if you are in a space to handle this story, I think this book is an incredibly important read!
