Crossing the Farak River by Michelle Aung Thin

3.5

adventurous challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Slow start but very informative and engaging. I couldn’t put this down though it’s hard to read about people being displaced and mistreated.

you could say there’s a happy ending, but it feels almost unrealistic. I liked it, but I don’t know how well things would’ve worked out for Hasina in reality. :/

I also find it hard to believe a child-trafficker/human rights violator who tricks little boys wouldn’t “try” Hasina in any way. I was so expecting him to tell her to pay for the medicine in another way. >.>
