The story follows Nuri and Afra fleeing Syria through split timelines, which can be difficult to follow, but does not take away from the beautiful writing.
This is a book of love, hope and determination in the face of extreme hardship and loss.

One thing that is constantly lurking in the back of my mind, especially after reading Yellowface, is who gets to tell which stories. I do like that the author acknowledges who they spoke to and what experiences they have related to the topics of this book.

I love the way the story is told, it flows beautifully from past to present. The characters are also wonderful and their stories are heartbreaking. A great read.
