First off, this isn't the type of book I would normally gravitate towards. But it came to me in my "Once Upon a Book Club" Box and I am so glad that it did. Not only did I have a fabulous experience opening all of the gifts that were included in the box, chosen specifically to match the story and to be opened at specific moments in the book. But I was also very touched by the story itself.
A fictional romance set around actual historical events that leaves you thinking. It did a great job talking about the war we all know so well and shedding light on emotions that are easy to gloss over in history books. It put you there and it forced you to look at two different religions and questions both of them in different ways.
It forces you to see the people behind the religions and to wonder if it would really be so hard for people of different religions to co-exsist together in peaceful and loving ways. And of course it does all of this in more while fighting the power of love between two people.
I don't know, it was just amazing and I am so glad I got to have this experience. Even if that meant going through many emotions and thinking about difficult topics. I would highly recommend this book.
