I think it was a good, moving narrative. My only gripe is that I was never dying to know what happened next.

This is a decent book, but very tragic and at most points, difficult to read. I’m glad I read it but I don’t knowing I’d read it again. I’m a bit surprised by the lack of Islamophobia, but I suppose the characters had far more to contend with.
