I struggled to get into this to start with. I understand the author was just giving us background information so we would understand what Rania had been through for the last ten years or so but I found myself not liking it so much.
It picked up when Hunter turned up and I quickly found myself intrigued by how the Iraqi girl and the American boy would communicate with each other. It was surprisingly sweet, learning each other the others' language so they could communicate more effectively.
I liked how Hunter also jumped to Rania's defence though he hardly knew her and wanted to help her with her situation, getting angry whenever she had to nip next door to the Mosque, while he was helpless and in pain.
