i am at a loss of words at how much i loved nahr and everything about this book. this is not just a novel, it's a literary masterpiece, a way of life. it perfectly encapsulates the feelings of hope, despair and unwavering resilience and resistance. the novel's writing style is captivating, authentic, and vivid; all the narrative, plot, story and characters are methodically studied and brought to life; everything, from the slightest characterization to the most significant incident, has depth. i could talk about this for days, months and years (considering how much i loved it). tbh this whole book resonated and changed me so profoundly in ways i thought impossible.
