A book about 9/11 but not 9/11

“You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.”

A book about a grief originating from 9/11 attacks. It's about Oskar, a 9 yo boy who struggles to grow over the incident. His father passed away in the attack, but amazingly the story links all characters and plot arising from his life.

A good read and now while being made into a movie, eager to see how much justice does it do to the original book.
