Such a beautiful and moving book about the Syrian war, and how people are affected in different ways by the trauma caused. I loved the way the book moved from past to present, as it flowed so well.

This grew on me a lot, and by the end I was SO invested in Afra and Nuri, even more so than their terrifying journey! Beware of all the content warnings, it's a very heavy read.
