A review by cuiyenn
The Secret Sky by Atia Abawi

4.0

A boy and a girl meet after a few years of growing up separated and fell in love, who did not surrender to their circumstances which forbid them not to meet each other, all the more get married and be united. This book is about the journey they both choose, which involved a lot of violence happening around them, hard truths of what's really happening between two tribes in Afghanistan.

Never realize that I know a lot of Arabic used in this book, bcs Bahasa Indonesia has a lot of Arabic derivations. I enjoyed the book from the start, couldn't really stop reading because it has great climaxes, which is not overwhelming nor boring. Great, strong characters.
