It is so haunting how relevant and significant the themes of this book are presently. there were so many times when I had to put the book down for a breather. despite its themes, Babel was written so, so beautifully. its characters had such depth and life. this book evoked such emotion in me during my reading experience and it’s safe to say that this story will linger around me wherever I go in my day-to-day. loved it 😭
