It's time to talk about this novel. It'll take me a lifetime to get over it.
🌷Maya Angelou said once: "I learned that people forget what you say, people forget what you do, but they never forget how you made them feel."🌷
This novel doesn't have an extraordinary story, it doesn't have extra plot twists, It doesn't have any surprises or any unexpected things, but it made me feel something I felt only when I read Ghassan Kanafani's book" A world not ours"
I love many books and many books inspired me and left something in me, but this is the second book that made me face such feeling while reading it.
Let me explain what I felt: have you ever read/watched something and felt that it puts you face to face with all the REAL shades of life, and overwhelm you to the extent that you feel like throwing up? Have you ever felt something calming your bruises and aggravating them at the same time?
That was what "Sunshine" had put me through.
This book is about Kate, a girl, a woman, a mother, a wife, a daughter, a lover, and a human being who is living a very normal life until she finds herself facing death. She was strong, and dealt with everything like someone who understands life and death and everything in between, except for the fact that she is leaving her sunshine, her daughter Jill, without a mother.
Through the book, we live with kate, she takes us in her journey to death, explaining life to us, allowing us to understand the different perspectives and to question things deeply.
It is weird that despite all the pain, this book was peaceful and beautiful.
I don't love books about death, but I love books that seem to be about death while they are actually about life. I love books when they feel so real, and when I discover that they are really real.
This book was novelized after the movie "Sunshine" was released in 1973, and it was written based on the diary that a real dying mother left for her daughter.
I can't say this book is life-changing, but it actually allowed me, to some extent, to create peace with life. It spreads a little sunshine in my soul, and It for sure would be one of my lifetime favourite books.
