### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well told story
  

*by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2020*

This is the story of Suleiman.  In the late 1970s, in Libya, who is quickly caught up in a world that is beyond his nine year old understanding.  His father - who is frequently away on business trips - is spotted in town when he was supposed to be away.  Soon, things start to change in his household.  The phone is constantly ringing, a neighbor disappears, his mother burns all of his father's books.  Soon Suleiman's mom realizes it is too dangerous for him to be in Libya, and he is sent to Cairo with a family friend to keep him safe.This was a well written book.  It isn't very long, and flowed nicely.  Suleiman is a bit infuriating, but what nine year old boy isn't.  There were times where I felt the character was a bit too naive.  You get an insigth into Qaddafi's Libya from the few of a little boy, and it is an interesting take.  All the things a child would not understand about the seriousness that was going on around him.  He witnesses the execution of the neighbor and it sticks with him for the rest of his life.A good read.  I am glad I found this one for my Read The World challenge.

    We forget how youth are affected by things we refuse to tell them.
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2017*

I cannot imagine living in a country where the only way to save your son is to let him go. I cannot imagine what it must be like to leave in a country that does not afford you all the comforts of freedom. This book shares what it is like for children growing up in a country torn apart by fear and by force. It shows the lengths family will go to spare others. It is wonderfully written.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fantastic novel
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2018*

This is a novel that gives us a rather distinctive feel for what life might be in a place outside the United States.  The heartbreak and the walk into adulthood is a universal story but this is an author that I love. He tells a terrific tale and there were many times that I felt I could smell the sea just reading the words off of his pages.
