this book was beautiful, but so tragic for no apparent reason :(
i know it was a short story, and the style of story/writing is very particular, but i would have liked a bit more building of the characters and actual story. it was very lyrical and sweepy, and full of beautiful sentiments throughout.
i liked the ideas it brought out regarding love and lebanese society at the time, i thought it was interesting to see the author’s perspective on such matters.
overall i thought it was nice but i wished i liked it more.
i’d recommend this to those who like a classic tragic romance story with a focus on the poetic writing, and a lovely spark of the middle eastern setting.
