adventurous emotional reflective slow-paced

3.0

Throughout the novel, Faqir weaves together themes of love, loss, cultural conflict, and the search for personal and spiritual identity.

This offers a poignant look at the impact of war and displacement on individuals and families. The narrative is both a personal journey and a broader commentary on the socio-political realities of the Middle East.
