Review of 'The Trinity of Fundamentals' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
Overall a beautifully written book which is an incredible historical document and tender personal tale. We learn so much about the realities of being in exile within your own homeland and the pain of isolation. If I had any criticism, which is a weird one, it’s how straight the book is. As in, the women aren’t really people more ideas, and a slight over fetishisation of traditional womanhood (which in a way makes sense, he’s a horny guy stuck inside for over 10 years). Anyway, some paragraphs I had to highlight because of how wonderfully they were written, and I’m so glad I read this booo. Also the cover is one of the best designed I’ve ever seen.
