SpoilerI found the writing quite poor but this wasn't the main issue for me. I found the author's attempt to justify the husband's decision to leave his wife and nine children behind to go and get married somewhere else absolutely infuriating. It just made me want to scream every time this was mentioned (which was a lot). I guess a writer with more skill could have made the redemption arc believable but here it just drove me nuts. Having to read Mohammad's POVs as he bemoaned how beautiful his first wife was and felt very sorry for himself, while not doing anything to fix it, just made me want to hit things.
