This book broke my heart into a billion pieces. It blows my mind that I had never heard of this tragedy before reading this novel. This is my favorite one that Ruta has written. The main characters and side characters were fantastic (besides the one that was a little shit). I loved this book so much and I will be recommending it to everyone! (it felt very relevant to modern times as well in terms of the Syrian Refugee crisis). ♡♡♡ P.S.- you will cry. And if you don't cry I will assume you have no soul.
