I have added this to my TBR listing. *Sigh* The never-could-I-ever-get-them-all-read-in-this-lifetime listing! 🙂 I have read quite a few books set in the “Middle East” and am always fascinated, and many times infuriated at the way people are treated all in the name of “religion”/traditional values. 🙁 This sounds like a good one. Thanks for posting!

In reply to Deepika Ramesh. Thank you! This was definitely one that showed life in a way I could not even begin to imagine- which os always the sign of a great book for me!

I have always loved reading books that are set in Middle East, and about people from Middle East. I want to try this one for sure. Thank you for this post. Your reviews are great. I enjoy reading each one of them. 🙂

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. It is worth it for the view of the Middle East and how you fit in when you don't fit in. The ending was just a bit off for me.

Oooh – the premise of this one sounds really intriguing. Sounds like the execution could have been better, though.
