Fiction.
Literature.
Debut novel about a young family forced to flee their war-ravaged homeland, forced to leave behind everything & everyone beloved & familiar. Old family photographs & lush watercolor paintings based on medieval illuminated manuscripts interweave with remembrances, ghost stories/stories of the war dead, & fairy tales to conjure a story of war, of emigration & immigration, the remarkable human capacity to experience love & wonder amidst destruction & loss, & how to create beauty out of horror.

Above Us the Milky Way is a beautifully written and powerful story combining the horrors of war, the realities of immigration, family, and memory with fairy tales and word play and interspersed with coloured photographs of the family. It is uncompromising in its portrayal of war and engrossing in its portrayal of family life.This is a stunning book like nothing I have ever read before and I recommend it highly.
Thanks to Edelweiss+ And Deep Vellum Publishing for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review ( )
