Excellent novel. Heartbreaking and inspirational story of Salama and Kenan, with Kenan's two younger siblings, the boy Salama was intended to marry. In the midst of the horror and violence, Salama meets Kenan and reignites the hope for a future together. The Horrors, the soulless terror, intimidation and brutality of a despotic regime is played out through their eyes.
I found the continued torment Salama receives from the ghostly Khawf, truly annoying and unnecessary, though. I really don't know why this figmant had to be a part of the story. As a tool he is more annoying than helpful!
