I need to gather my mind before I can write the whole review. But this is definitely one of my favourite book for this year. I was so overwhelmed by all the events that had happened in this masterpiece.
It's story about survival, finding hopes and joy around all the chaos, and making sacrifice for your loved ones. Reading about the crisis in Syria and all the horror that they had to face really shook me to the core. Salama is indeed the strongest and the most admirable female character I've read so far.
