wow my heart is so warm yet so weary after reading this magnificent work.
it took me awhile to get into the book bc reading slump, but once (MINOR SPOILER ALERT) Nada ran away and we reach Afaf's adolescence, I couldn't put it down.
I am not super familiar w Islamic practices, but I think this book so beautifully portrays the mystery & hope religion can give you, especially in times of loss & despair.
will 100% recommend this to anyone/everyone!!! esp those who would benefit from reading a different cultural and religious POV
