How can lovers and normal people live in a place where everything is under the control of hardliner religious people?
Can eloping and running away from those places and living somewhere far away solve the problems lovers struggle with?
What is the cost of remorse, is there a way to fix things? Or everything must end in an evening?
What’s the right way to find God, by reading books written by others or by searching this universe and its mysteries by ourselves?
In a place ruled by hardliners, those that will punish others if they see the beauties of life and follow their desires, one must be like a walking corpse since everything in this life is deceiving and eventually leading to sins.
The war is between hardliners with their irrational decisions and youngsters in love with their unrealistic thoughts, and that’s the beginning of all the melancholic and miserable events. Yet amongst these people mentioned there are some other people who are neutral, they are religious and see the beauties of life, but they’re not in a better situation than others, on the contrary, these unbiased people suffer and struggle more! For they can’t fit into something they don’t fully agree with.
This book was torturing me, not because of the story or anything related, but because i couldn’t fit into the hardliners nor the youngsters in love! It was kinda hard for me, because i didn’t consider any of them as “the right side”, but to be honest there were times i agreed with the hardliners, and i didn’t agree with the youngsters, not even for once! Because life is not all about love, and emotions are not the solutions for everything. This book made me think unbiased and observe at the story as the third eye, and the dialogues were notable, the writing style was excellent, as usual! The gloomy, dark and bleak atmosphere was phenomenal…
My favorite characters were Khandan(for her exceptional thoughts and her ongoing search on god and universe), Zaiynab (for her honesty in faith and her kind heart when she realized everything) , Fatana (for her curious, brave, and adventurous soul), and Medea (for her true love for Moon, and her Pure heart).
I recommend this book to readers who enjoy books with the bitter taste of reality, and to those who love a dramatic magical realism novel…
