I thought the themes of this book were interesting but I thought it was a bit disjointed at points and the scenes with Mustafa in London weren't great to read. I probably would have benefitted from studying the book as opposed to reading it. The best bits were when we were with the main character or the grandfather and other old people, I really liked Bint Majzoub. The final chapter was brilliant!
