The Lucky Ones: A Memoir by Zara Chowdhary

emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

thank you to @netgalley and @crownpublishing for the advanced copy

it’s hard to put into words what this memoir is, what this memoir did to my heart. it is brilliant, the weaving of the author’s interpersonal experiences with the implications of living under an anti-Muslim pogrom. it is so deeply personal and intimate 

what i honestly cannot get over is how Chowdhary divided her memoir into sections of elements: fire, threads, flowers, air and water - and when i say i could FEEL these elements within their section, i could feel blooming happening in the flowers section, could feel the lightness of leaving in the air section - pure and total magic
