When I read it for the first time, my heart was immediately hooked on this novel. The novel entitled “7 OUR FAMILY” by Kusdina Ain tells the story of Razi, the youngest of seven siblings who is not accepted by his family. This novel from Kusdina Ain has a very good storyline that makes the reader feel deep sadness even to tears. I also felt the sadness experienced by Razi.

From Razi’s story, I learned many lessons. The wisdom I can take is to learn to be sincere with any situation, stay grateful, make peace with all the wounds we have even though it is very difficult, and keep doing good even though we are treated badly.

The ending of the novel “7 OUR FAMILY” is heartbreaking. Razi, a cheerful child, finally chose to commit suicide due to depression and pressure from his older siblings, as well as diatribes that made him unable to continue living. Despite being treated unfairly by his siblings, Razi still donated his heart and eyes for his brother. What a noble act you did, Razi. I wish I could learn to be as patient and noble as Razi.

In the story we cannot fully blame his brother, because his brother also has a very heavy burden. because he was left dead by his mother and left by his irresponsible father.

I highly recommend this novel to all of you readers. The story is so touching and full of meaning.
