This book was beautiful written, and achingly heartbreaking. Switching between the past and the present, as Rawiya and Nour go on their parallel journeys, this book starts each country with a poem dedicated to it. The poems were shaped in the shape of the country, a format that was very interesting but honestly difficult to read digitally. This book was hard to read at times, but worth it.
