I found myself cheering or yelling oh no at the characters as I read the deeper and deeper I got into this story.
Etaf Rum is certainly a new auto buy author for me. Her writing is elegant and captivating and her story telling transports you to the characters she's portraying.

- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
Isra - To be married off and plucked from your homeland, devastating. To have to meet unrealistic expectations from your new family, just wrecked me. The fact that she knew that she had to do something so her daughters wouldn’t suffer the same fate 😭
Fareeda - 😒 I initially did not like this lady, as the matriarch of the family she was too demanding of everyone. How she berated Isra, Sara, and later Deya, Isra’s daughter… horrifying. She was just projecting tho, and as the story unravels we learn why and that in itself is beyond sad
Deya - Reaching the age where she could be “married off” she fought back, she learned the truth about her parents deaths, what happened to her aunt Sarah and the power to change her life by fighting back against the expectations her family had for her.
