When the Apricots Bloom by Gina Wilkinson

3.0

What I loved about this book: the setting. I don't think I have ever read a story that takes place within Iraq during the reign of Saddam Hussein. That point of view was what attracted me to the story to begin with, and it's what held my attention throughout. What I didn't love: it was slow moving, and the characters felt stiff and didn't compel me to keep reading. They were uninteresting.
