   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  BackstoryBooks | Apr 1, 2024 |   I did eventually get my time periods straightened out. But I guess it just shows how much a person's life could change in such a short period of time. An emotion of great delight? This book just made me so very sad, for everyone. I didn't really like the open-endedness. A bit hopeful, but still open-ended. (  ) deslivres5 | Feb 2, 2024 | I read this book in one sitting. I would have given it 5 stars however, the way the so called best friend treated her bothered me, along with not going further in depth with what happened with the brother. I understand that everyone deals with grief in their own way but wow, this story packed a punch. It will stay with me for a while.

failing health, her brother's recent death, and the ongoing harassment the Muslim community is facing in 2003.
Trapped in a morass of grief and isolation, Shadi will have to reclaim her right to happiness and peace if she wants
to move forward and pursue a tentative romance. Mafi's lyrical prose fills this spare story with pathos and optimism.
