Hello! Continuing on from the title, I'm looking for some preachy-feeling, heavy memoirs, or any genre is appreciated really. I would love a focus on political oppression, womanhood, immigration, addiction, just the rough nitty-gritty of life.
For reference, I've read recently and thoroughly enjoyed Don't Forget Us Here- Mansoor Adayfi (great read, recommend heavily), Johnny Got His Gun, Last Exit to Brooklyn, Three-Body Problem, Fear No Evil- Natan Sharansky, It Can't Happen Here, Man's Search for Meaning, A Frozen Woman- Annie Ernaux, etc.
Thank you in advance and have a good one!

The House at Sugar Beach: In Search of a Lost African Childhood by Helene Cooper
Invisible Child by Andrea Elliott follows a homeless NYC girl and her family for several years. It started as an investigative journalism series in the New York Times. You’ll want to rip your hair out reading about all the ways the system fails
*A Thousand Splendid Suns* by Khaled Housseini.
*I Am Malala* by Malala Yousafzai.
Also, a movie rather than a book, but you should check out the film *Incendies* (2010).
