De kommer att drunkna i sina mödrars tårar by Johannes Anyuru
4.0
A book about life, and a bit meta.
I wavered a bit when reading. From time to time I did not really understand it, neither the story nor where it wanted to get. But the last chapters made up for all of that. I really liked the ending.
It's an interesting story about a woman who is a part of a suicide squad, and also an author who later decides to interview the woman as she is admitted into an asylum since she says she actually came from the future with a mission, a mission to stop the dystopian society Sweden has turned into.
It really makes you think about the world we live in. All the muslims that are in this book talk about a fear they all carry with them, and that they then pass on to the next generation. And that part felt very real. I can believe minorities carry that kind of fear, especially muslims as they are often nowadays called terrorists and are subjected to a lot of racism. That fear is difficult to understand, but I kind of related it to the fear women are taught to feel when moving around in the world. I'm not saying it's the same, but that is as close as I can get to understanding it.
