My Rating: 3.0
A couple, Nuri and Afra, leave war torn Syria in search of a better life. Mustafa, Nuri's cousin, has already made it to London and is waiting for them there. This is about their journey of past, present and the hope for their future.
I know that I am going to be in the minority on this book but, despite the fabulous writing, I did not find this enjoyable. The author's attempt at mixing timelines and dreams with reality made the story hard to follow to the point of being incoherent. I didn't feel that the characters were well developed. The story was sad, depressing and dragged to the point I was very glad when it was over.
