Uzma's choice for October is 'One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This' by Omar El Akkad. A heartbreaking and poignant examination of the crumbling Western democracies (were they truly democracies?) through the lens of events occuring after October 7th, 2023. This book is both timely and timeless in its unflinching portrayal of the moral realities facing us today and how there aren't always two balanced sides to every story.
