Like many others have commented on Goodreads, this book doesn’t have a solid plot or point.
However, it also does. I enjoyed the myriad characters and interweaving of scenes.
It seemed stream of consciousness and very “Arab” in the way it told it story.
What I truly enjoyed was feeling like I was with the characters, in part due to scenery and the weaving in of Arabic.
Oddly, I enjoyed the political nature as the characters reflected points differing from the American norm.
I received this book as a Goodreads Giveaway.

I don’t know what this book is about, but I really like the cover art! I’m glad you got something out of it even though it sounds like a lot of people didn’t. 🙂

You should definitely try it out for yourself! It’s pretty short, so you won’t sink much time in if you don’t enjoy it.
