This was a fun retelling and I like learning more about Pakistani culture. I was a little put off by the characters referencing Pride & Prejudice, but overall I enjoyed the story.

This book was very hard for me to get through. I’m not sure if it’s the writing or the way the book is structured. The back and forth nature of the story teller in the beginning made it difficult to connect with the characters and understand what’s happening. When I had more time with one narrator’s story I wanted to know where their life would lead and how it connected to the other narrators and familiar names. It was important to me to finish the book and lean in to the stories I don’t often read and listen to the generations-old struggles of those fighting for freedom and what’s truly theirs.
