Heartbreaking and devastating. Delicately and beautifully written. I marvel at how, as the book progresses, it's revealed how much Nuri's point of view appears to be so matter-of-fact, but trauma has deeply affected his perception and interactions with the world.

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.
