I won this book through the Goodreads First-reads giveaway.
I assume you have read the description of this book so I will not summarize the plot.
This was a hard book to read and even harder to put down. It's not a light read - there is violence and heartbreak and sadness but that's what makes it so engaging. I don't know if a reader can come away from this book without feeling more aware of how much harder life can be. At he same time the lead character has so much love and honor and compassion that it makes you want to try harder to be a better person. As a person who was raised catholic with a Jewish aunt, uncle and cousins as well as an Arabic best friend, this book open my eyes even more to Middle Eastern conflicts and tragedies and I would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone.
