The writing is bad, really bad. Not only is it full of cliches and very predictable chain of events, but the writer feels like he needs to educate the reader about women emancipation, noble morales (of a privileged female doctor mind you!), the west (unnecessarily glorifies it in the process), and hygiene (!).
The theme is women and patriarchy, and the writer correctly hints at the correlation between the current political system in Kurdistan and the reproduction of patriarchy. However, the writer fails to distance himself from traditional patriarchal perspectives towards women. This is evident in the near-complete lack of agency given to the main protagonist. In addition, the main character, who has been marginalized and victimized by his family for being (1st) women and (2nd) being raped and impregnated, eventually runs away and migrates, thereby nullifying any hope that women who stand up to patriarchy can succeed.
Not recommended.
