Gajarah was such a unique and powerful read. It weaves together grief, memory, migration, and identity in a way that feels both intimate and expansive. The language is poetic without being too heavy, and I loved how it moved between the past and present, between countries and emotions, without ever feeling disjointed.

There’s a quiet strength in the way Somia Sadiq explores loss—especially the kind of loss that doesn’t always have closure. The cultural elements felt beautifully rooted, and even though the story is deeply personal, it touches on themes so many people can relate to.

It’s a reflective and emotional book that stays with you. If you enjoy writing that’s lyrical, honest, and full of heart, Gajarah is definitely one to pick up.
