Immediately I was drawn in by the fact it is a book by Kamila Shamsie! This book is absolutely beautiful and compelling. The book is written in such an easy flowing way which intrigued and captivated me. It was truly an experience to meet such wonderful characters, the story line and the plot being extraordinary! Honestly it was one of the most touching book I’ve read in a while. Once you get into the swing of the book it’s just pure joy, each page giving off such a heart warming feeling, the feeling of completeness. It’s definitely a huge jump from my usual addiction to the more physiological thrillers and true crime genre, but this has definitely got to be an exception, it truly being a work of art. I feel like it would be wrong for me to not recommend such a book. Even the characters were such unique individuals as themselves, Maryam and Zahra being these relatable characters who truly gives me a sense of comfort inside. Their friendship is phenomenal!! It’s such a great read which I would most definitely recommend.
