I don't know what to say about this book, really.
Well, there isn't much to say anyway.

I signed up for this book because it reminded me of Khaled el Housseini's books, and because the author's name is arabic, just like mine.
I liked it, but not enough to love it.
It was written beautifully. The writer's writing style is amazing.
The ending was good too, not happy good, but fair good. Realistic kind of good.
The story was good, as well.
I loved the sentence in the end of the book :” the sun in her left hand, the moon in her right, Laila and Henna.”
I love reading about motherly devotion. It is just so magical.

Well, that's just about it. I want to read more of Shaheen's works.
