2 girls, separated by centuries, one legendary and one a Syrian refugee, journey from Syria to Morocco. It is beautifully crafted. The use of maps and colors still astound me. From sea to desert, from city to deserted, this story took me on a journey that I am glad I went on.
I love all the Arabic words and since I listened to the audio, it was like being back in the Arab World.
