This is a brilliant start to the novel - powerful, emotional, and deeply intriguing. The cover appears as elegant as the story is written, and certainly appeals to the reader in being simple yet beautiful.
When reading the first few pages, I was a little confused with all of the characters being introduced and trying to understand their connections and roles, especially in the context of all of the nicknames/alternative names for some of the characters. But it did not take long for the story to pick up. Once it did, it is clear to see how well written, captivating, and smooth the writing is. My emotions felt tied to the stories and the characters, and I kept trying to scroll to read more even though my excerpt was over. I appreciate the depth of the topics that this story will delve into, including illness, cultural expectations, and alcoholism, and this is just the beginning. I love a story that makes me feel and makes me think, and this seems like it is the perfect fit.
Reading this introduction makes me so excited for what is to come. I need to figure out what happened between Sal and Noor, what is yet to come for their family, and can they find a way to forgive and to heal?
