Really well done in terms of representing trauma, from my experience of different trauma, although I do kind of prefer own voices, it does seem to be considerate of the culture and experiences of the population of Syrian refugees, but I would love to hear an opinion on that from someone of that population. Well written and interesting plot reveal.

The last quarter of the book saves the slow/confusing beginning.

Amazing read. I knew when I cried at the end of the first chapter that this would be an emotional and heart breaking read. It also puts a strong focus on grief and the toll that extreme circumstances and loss can effects ones body in many different ways. really liked how the author incorporated the present day with the flashbacks of the past but using a word that interlinked the two. I hadn't seen that done before but really liked how it made the transition between the time frames so smooth. There are many difficult but important aspects to this book but it is a story I think everyone should read to help people understand the struggles refugees face and journeys that refugees have to make.  I actually think this would be an excellent book for students to study in schools if it isn't already being studied.
