A review by mwmakar
Women of Sand and Myrrh by Hanan Al-Shaykh

emotional funny medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

Maybe I went through a little too fast and didn’t pick up a ton of plot but it’s a refreshingly new angle for litfic (for me) with surprisingly familiar tones in an unfamiliar world. Nur and Suha’s relationship was definitely the most memorable part to me. Worth rereading, I’d guess!
