This was such an interesting read coming after the Chander Legacies from Nazemain. The story's three different perspectives gave an insight into the generation trauma, both the growth and sad delays in the evolution of a country.
By setting this against the back drop of three different men in the history of Mahmouds family you get to see how each of them struggled with who they were and how they would manage to go beyond this and become a stronger family.
At first I wasn't totally sure how all of these stories were going to intersect or even come together to what they did. I am so glad that I was able to read this in advance and can say that this is another amazing LGBTQIA+ and Own Voices novel from Nazemain.
