This was an absolute beautiful piece of the strength of the bond between a mother and her daughter. A mama bear ain’t got nothin’ on Nadine. She literally takes on Death. Hanna is a master storyteller. I love how she weaves middle eastern mythology throughout her tale. Layala struggles with who she is and what she is meant to do. As the reader, I definitely feel for these characters, especially as a mother! It is a story of the strength of women. The strength of a mother. I also love that everyone’s soul has a unique story.
