This sounds like a really amazing book inspired by the author's own experiences. The characters sound captivating and relatable despite being in vastly different situations than most readers would be familiar with. Set in Iraq, the story captivates timeless themes of friendship, forgiveness, and a mother's love, but is suspenseful and moving. I enjoy reading books in very different settings and situations that are realistic so I would definitely love to read this!
I also think the cover is very beautiful and simple, it captures the tone with its artistic style and hints at central ideas.
