Wow. I’m still drying my tears. What a beautiful story of a woman reckoning with her past and her diminishing future.
Nahid is not lovable by any means, she is terse, rude, and straight up mean sometimes. She has a twisted perception of reality shaped by a lifetime of abuse. But the love she has for her family, even if she does not realize it, carries her much further than she thought she could go.
Truly inspiring and heartwarming, the joy of life bursts through these pages and pierces right through the heart. I’m going to go call my mom now and tell her how much I love her.
