As a Muslim Asian who at times, questions and personal ideology about my faith, this book to a certain degree is a reflection of my own life and thoughts.
I am awestruck by how much the characters in this book reflects the people, the way they think and behave and react, who are so very similar to my own.
At times, it feels like their thoughts are my own and that can be quite jarring to see on a page written for public viewing.
The dynamics between father and sons, mothers and daughters, mother and son and father and daughters, are so true to real life - my own life - that it is amazing and sometimes baffling to see it on the page described perfectly; the inner thoughts, the conflicts, the guilt, the joy, the sadness.
And as with real life, there is no resolution, just a retrospect on what life decisions and actions, and even inaction, resulted in what life is today, for better or for worse.
