The weight of our sky review6/6/2023 And, that makes it all the more terrifying because even though the current state of Malaysia is unlike those that are at war, the peace isn’t settled. The thing about this story being set in a timeline where a significant historical event happens, is that even though it’s the past, a Malaysian can easily imagine it happening today. It happened more than 20 years before I was born, but the brutality of it, the violence, the pain and the horrors-I can picture it vividly through Alkaf’s The Weight of Our Sky. The incident is an incident Malaysians still speak of today, particularly when topics regarding race come up. Thank you so much Pansing for sending me the a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! Hanna Alkaf’s The Weight of Our Sky is available at all good bookstores. Genre(s): Young Adult, Historical Fiction Published: 2019 by Simon Schuster Children’s Publishing
