I greatly appreciated and enjoyed this. Kudos to Rula Jebreal for such a great historical fiction. Finished it in three days flat.
Excellent book of triumph and failure, love and sacrifice, life and death. Shows just how hard it is for Middle Eastern women and girls in any decade., and make you emotions inside you move like never before. Yes, some parts are hard to read, but it al pays off when you turn that last page and read that last word. Could never have lived without it. I have had the privilege of being born and bred in the states, because my great-grandparents were fortunate enough to have come through Ellis Island, two generations before I was even thought of. Only real, devoted, and true readers could appreciate this kind of novel.
If you enjoyed this I recommend reading Khaled Hosseinii books.
