This book is an excellent story looking at immigrants and their children, religion, Swedish society, Syrian terrorist camps, time travel, radicalization, internment, hate, religion, and more. A little confusing as it jumps between character, place, and time--more so because I read an e-galley with no indications other than content (and my total confusion) that the place/time/narrator had changed. I think this might have been a 5-star read for me if I had had those breaks and not had to read back repeatedly to find the change. Of course, maybe it's not easy to tell in the print version either. I don't know. Even with my confusion, this book is fantastic. There are 3 stories being told, and they each converge with another, but how and when is not always clear until suddenly it is. I wish I had someone to discuss this with! I love dystopias, and I love literary fiction that takes on modern topics. This novel combines those two. ——— A few years after a terrorist attack that goes strangely, with one of the terrorists killing another, a Swedish Muslim poet/author is contacted by that woman, who is in a psychiatric facility. She wants to meet him. He knows about the attack, all Swedes do. The attack itself is based on the Charlie Hedbo attack in France. But one of the terrorists--a teenage girl--stopped it. He knows her story--she is actually a Belgian girl who had been to Syria, was rescued, and then fled to Sweden. But this is not who she says she is. This girl claims to be from the future (15-20 years in the future), and is herself unclear how or why she ended up in another body. But she had to stop the attack because it caused the restrictions and Muslim internment camps of the dystopian Sweden that she grew up in. Does the narrator believe her or her official diagnosis of schizophrenia? What does he do? Does the reader believe her? ——— Thanks to Two Lines Press and Edelweiss Plus for providing me with an e-galley. Wat een ingrijpend boek... zo ongelooflijk erg... zo triest .... maar wat een schrijver. Soms heel verwarrend, maar op een of ander manier heb ik de indruk dat het iets diep in mij aanspreekt, raakt, verwart. Maar ook en tegelijk soms teder, ontroerend... Op een of andere manier neemt het de logica weg uit je hoofd.... en appeleert iets diep menselijks... zo echt, zo ruw, zo duister. en wat een ongelooflijk mooie titel "Ze zullen verdrinken in hun moeders tranen" nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: Winner of the prestigious August Prize for best Work of Literary Fiction In the midst of a terrorist attack on a bookstore reading by Göran Loberg, a comic book artist famous for demeaning drawings of the prophet Mohammed, one of the attackers, a young woman, has a sudden premonition that something is wrong, changing the course of history. Two years later, this unnamed woman invites a famous writer to visit her in the criminal psychiatric clinic where she's living. She then shares with him an incredible storyâ??she is a visitor from an alternate future. Despite discrepancies that make the writer highly skeptical, he becomes increasingly fascinated by her amazing tale: in her dystopian future, any so-called "anti-Swedish" citizens are forced into a horrific ghetto called The Rabbit Yard. As events begin to spiral and the author becomes more and more implicated in this woman's tale, he comes to believe the unbelievable: she's telling the truth. A remarkably intense, beautifully wrought tale that combines the ingenuity of speculative fiction with the difficulties of today's harsh political realities, They Will Drown in Their Mothers' Tears is the groundbreaking, award-winning work from the bestselling Swedish-Ugandan author Johannes Anyuru. With echoes of Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, the Charlie Hebdo tragedy, and anti-immigrant hysteria, this largest and most complex novel from an already celebrated poet, author, and spoken word artist catapults him to the front ranks of world writers.
