Started out slow but the last third was particularly good.

A beautiful, melancholy tale.
Intricately woven, the ending a sad, stark reality.

This book spends its pages looking at one day of an Iraqi Christian family with flashbacks woven in the narrative. Often a bit slow but always challenging as we see into a world we do not know... a world filled with violence and war, family and faith, love and hate, each told through vignettes that though small pictures piece together to a deeper understanding of this world so far apart from my own life.
