A review by sungold
All Our Names by Dinaw Mengestu

5.0

While it took me longer than I would have liked to feel fully moved by the plot shared between "Isaac" and Helen, I found the entire story compelling and powerful. The two lines playing themselves out alongside each other paint a melancholic and, at times, horrifying story of war and love (in a number of capacities). The final lines of the novel really brought the entire story together and into perspective, and I would 10/10 recommend for every reader.
