Thank you to Netgalley and World Editions for a copy of this book.

As Ali, a 19 year old Syrian soldier lies on the ground, he sees a body being lowered into the ground; is it his grave?

This novel weaves through vignettes of Ali's life.

The writing style wasn't my cup of tea, but I know it'll work for many others.
