Gorgeously written haunting story of the various iterations of queerness and their intersections with being Syrian.

A moving, heartfelt #ownvoices novel from Syrian-Canadian author Danny Ramadan. I really enjoyed listening to this dual timeline story about a gay Syrian immigrant's life before and after coming to Canada. Great on audio narrated by Hani Mefti and Noor Hamdi and recommended for fans of books like The beekeeper of Aleppo or The death of Vivek Oji. Much thanks to Libro.fm for my complimentary ALC!
