I was talking with a friend about books we read in our young adult times that had an impact and found out that we shared one "wake-up" moment. We both read The Windsinger when we were young. I remember it being very different from what I have read before. I was angry while reading it. Not because it was a bad book, but because it was the first time I got confronted with a political/social system that was unfair to the people living in it and it had parallels with the system I/we lived in.

I remember it being the trigger for me to get involved in politics early on and joining the political part of the communist youth movement in Israel.

We also found out that it was only the first book of a trilogy! Yesterday, this friend showed up and dropped the trilogy at my doorstep (still in Quarantine). Soיף that's what I am reading the next few days!
