Backman‘s writing can be so in your face at times that it takes you by surprise. Everything would be going smooth and suddenly he will show a very different and dark aspects of his characters!!!

Just a few pages and I can sense that this will make cry!!! The sadness and tragedy are so palpable in only the first few chapters😢😢

IndianBookworm I had to literally stop reading to feel what was said in the initial chapters. And it's been some days, and I want to but do not want to read it. Made any sense? 😬 1mo
Shamzi @IndianBookworm it totally does, even I took a break for a few days but now I am nearing the end!!! 1mo
IndianBookworm @Shamzi saw your review of the book. I guess I should get to it soon! 4w

This would be extremely funny if it was not based on reality.All the things that you read about North Korean regime is mind boggling, just bonkers. The inside look at this hermit sealed nation was so fascinating and equal parts heartbreaking. Highly recommend everyone to read it!!

Magic isn‘t evil or good, or black or white. It is like the universe. Powerful and Supremely indifferent.

Only 50 pages in, this book paints a very grim picture of the 1980‘s SRI LANKA. The political turmoil, civil war mixed with greed, corruption, hatred. I knew this would be dark but I didn‘t expect ot to be so graphic. The author so far has done a fabulous job of describing the violence in those times!!!

WOMEN TELLING WOMEN STORIES!!!
I had such a blast reading this book, If you love stories on women by women then you should definitely read this.
I usually don‘t go by praise or reviews in the book itself but this review at the end perfectly summarises what I felt about it
HIGHLY RECOMMEND (cannot stress this enough)

I don‘t understand much about investigative journalism but this was very intriguing to read,the relentless efforts of every journalist and the brave women that came forward and shared there wordt experiences.
The 1st half reads like a thriller, its always 2 step forward 1 step back and the second half is like a research paper. Highly recommended!!!

Shamzi @WJCintron It started off as a teen romance but it's more than that, it's about a whole new culture, for me atleast. I am enjoying it!!! 4y
