This is one of the most emotional and intense book i think i’ve read. truly an emotional rollercoaster. i’ve never read a book that has shocked me as much as this book. it will forever be one of my favourite books simply because Mouawad kept me on my toes cover to cover and kept me weeping for half of it. a story of a mother’s love, war, sickness, trauma and lineage.
