I read The Refugee by Kim Hopkinson last week and it’s still kinda on my mind. It’s not a long story but it really gets to you.
It’s about someone who has to leave everything behind because of war, and the way Hopkinson writes it, you can actually feel what that would be like — the fear, the loss, the not knowing what’s next.
What really hit me was how real it all felt. You can picture it, like you’re right there with them, trying to hold on to hope even when everything’s falling apart. The story’s simple, not overdone, and that’s what makes it powerful. Every line feels like it’s got real emotion behind it.
When I finished it, I just sat there for a bit thinking about how many people actually live through stuff like this. It made me feel sad but also grateful, like it kinda puts things in perspective.
Overall, I thought it was a really touching story. Not perfect, but definitely one that stays with you.
