The moment Nabi wrote his letter this book became something completely different for me and it stayed like that till the end of it. I liked all these character lines interconnected, all these parallels between two sisters and cousins, mothers’ images, painful separation from parents, and just overall different life stories, too often hard and having sad endings. I wish I knew till the end the story of Iqbal’s son and his rich friend, and I wish I saw Pari helping him out with what she inherited. But it would definitely be too of happy end style. Anyways, it was undoubtedly good.
