I thought this was so beautifully written. Blaise/Koumail was such a fantastic character with a difficult story to tell. So glad I discovered this book.

This is a refugee story from the 90s while Soviet Union was falling apart. It begins in Georgia (Caucasus Mtns), and while one ends in France, the other refugee sacrifices her liberty to ensure success. A truly inspiring story. Because of the Around the World Challenge, I've read several books on refugees. I'm thinking of purchasing some of these books for the narrow-minded for Christmas. Would they read it? Would they start having more empathy?

TrishB If they‘re anything like my narrow minded, sadly, no ā¹ļø¸ 5y

Butterfinger I agree @TrishB there is nothing one can say. And what steams me is when a family member says no talk of politics. It isn't a political issue, it is humanity. Thank you for understanding me. 5y

#backpackeurope travelogue *fictional*
Country 59: my last uniquely untraveled country in ALL OF EUROPE is complete! In Georgia, I saw Narikala fort ruins, Ananuri Riverside castle, Gergeti Trinity Church/mountain/glacier, and Uplistsikhe (rock-hewn Iron age town).
This book wasn't good - maybe a bad translation. It never spent much time on any feelings/locations. Things happened too quickly/too surface-y. I enjoyed cameos from prior places! 2/5

A Time of Miracles | Anne-Laure Bondoux

How cool is this? I'm reading this book for my final unique/unvisited country of #backpackeurope, and while the book is mostly set in Georgia, the Georgian child protagonist eventually must flee across Europe. Every single stop is one I've covered in my literary backpacking adventure, including specific places like Mont-St-Michel.
Thanks for doing such a wonderful challenge, @JenP and @BookwormM ! I'm in the home stretch!
