The Last Brother by Nathacha Appanah

4.0

This novel has been beautifully translated into English. Its descriptive language paints so well the thoughts and struggles of a boy who has experienced much loss and pain in his young life. I was held captive throughout the entirety of The Last Brother, especially by the dynamics between Raj's family. There is so much buried pain in this story, and it brings light to a side of WWII I never knew before.
