I don’t know if I liked the book, but it is 4star writing. It sparked an interest in maps that comes entirely from this book.
You can tell the author spent a lot of time researching.
I cared little for the characters and the story started to drag towards the end.
I dislike how Abu Sayeed died or that he died at all; like he had no place in this story.
This story led to a lot of reflections and new experiences. I also learned quite a bit - I was glad to also learn of the mundane.
The female characters in this book are so strong. It’s so amazing.
There are a great many quotes and situations and questions. I think the best books make something in you shift just a bit and this has me asking lots of them.

The situations that the protagonist and her family went through were mind-bendingly sad, and it's overwhelming, to say the least, to think of the staggering number of refugees who experience these terrors on a daily basis. The author's prose was gorgeous.
