In Our Mad and Furious City by Guy Gunaratne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The truth is not always black and white, there are many layers unseen in-between that are sometimes overlooked and discarded as being false. How can religious men of peace become so abusive to their neighbors that they resort to violence instead of words? This novel digs deep into the hatred that festers when racial tensions flare in the city of London seen from the perspective of several young men and a young Irish lass from different religious or economical backgrounds living in a city under siege with hatred. The news carries so many headlines of hate and few solutions to poverty or peace. When will we change? Some very deep thinking in this book, hope it opens some peoples eyes to how others live precariously through life.
