I've picked it up because of Jack Edwards and I'm so glad. It might be one of my favourite books of the year!

The prose was wonderful, and so was that story within a story. We got to know Raif through his falling in love with Maria. It was as heartwarming as it was heartwrenching. It's one of the best stories I've read where the yearning is palpable through the pages. Even knowing that some inevitable fate awaits them, I couldn't help but hope they'll come together again...
