Kareem returns to kick off the second part of the 1st season of the Blame My Shelf Podcast with Naija Book Bae, with her first-ever audio review of a book, and the book in question is "The Mountains Sing" by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai, a story that sheds light on Vietnam's turbulent history and the author's desperate call for peace and for humans to love other human beings more.
