Very well-written but also super depressing.

I think this is a must read. While the story focuses around the main character's love of animals, it really provides realistic detail of what it has been like for the people in war torn Mosul. I don't think there are many books that capture these realities of recent history so that in itself is a reason to read. So much heart goes into this book. I felt so many emotions throughout and I think this is a book that will stay with me. I am even considering looking into volunteering with the Four Paws organization in the future!
