What an amazing book of sadness, strength, trauma, and women hood. The relationships between the women of this story is unmatched and so powerful. The hardships and torment this women endure at the hands of their war-torn country and the men they rely on is soul crushing. Definitely an emotionally difficult read, but so so worth it. I know I am so late to the party, but if you haven’t read it is a must!
