Review
This novel was different then what I was expecting but a wonderfully surprising read nonetheless. I was surprised at the similarities and differences in these women's marriages. It was a very enlightening read and the writing style of Amie Ali was easy to follow even thought there was back and forth between different main characters.
Amie Ali's stories focus on the lives of Western women who find love among the cultural breadth of Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian countries. Weaving western expectations of love and family with extensive cultural and religious differences, she enjoys writing stories that bridge divides and offer a peek into these diverse, often controversial relationships.
