The Gods Will Hear Us Eventually by Jinny Koh
3.0
this book is about two young sisters, anna & angie. one day, their grandmother got sick and was admitted to hospital. both sisters were told by their parents to stay at home as they settle things at the hospital. however, they could not wait any longer and decided to leave the house to see their grandmother. it turned out to be an unfortunate event when angie suddenly went missing and anna blames herself for it.
such a great start for a debut novel focusing on family love & sacrifice. i love the writing though, it was really easy to follow through the story. the superstitious bits totally gave out that local context omg so relatable!! later in the story, it started to focus more on the mother’s trauma of not being able to find her daughter. however, some parts are predictable and i personally find that the ending was not really satisfying as it felt quite abrupt. but still managed to finish the whole book - its a real page turner.
cant help but to remember the time when i actually got lost in a shopping mall before too…….my sister got worried as we were together when it happened. :’)
