Very eye-opening read discussing the culture clashes within a country I clearly didn't know very much about. All characters felt distinctly human and were written gracefully so as to provide nuance to such a difficult topic (religion vs state). The main character wasn't always incredibly likeable but his faults made him human. Definitely an experience to have read this book!
