Ugh this was slow and boring at times for me. However the plot was good and the writing good as well. I just couldn’t get into it.

It has been a long time since a book made me feel so much. So much love, and so much pain.

I thought this was a beautiful but heartbreaking story. At times I loved the way it was written, at other times I felt myself agitated that the author didn't just come out and say what she meant. Perhaps trying a bit to hard at times to be creative and poetic.
The story itself is one that I have no knowledge of. The acknowledgements that explained it came from her parents made it even more real and beautiful.

While it is a little slow to start I really enjoyed this novel. I have never read a book about Kurdistan and I found the warmth of the people remarkable. The imagery was stunning and Sardar did a great job bringing the environment to life.
