Beautiful blend of aching sorrow, reassuring love, and poetic storytelling

It is a good book and it gives you a good feel for how it can be for other people. Good read and it was for sure worth my time! However it's not my favourite, the emotions in this book are so deep and piercing then there where moments that there where tears in my eyes. I felt for the characters, and all I was wishing for was their struggle to end....

It was a little slow at first and hard for me to get sucked in because of the two storylines. Then I *did* get sucked in and I loved the book. 

Stunning. I'm still reeling from this book.

In the author’s note she writes that she ‘hopes that this book serves as a starting point for education and empathy’ on the Syrian refugee crisis. Mission accomplished.
