Reviews

[Ahlam Ghanimi · Rating 2 out of 5]

it was a cozy read,and especially for this cold weather.
was it good? I don't know.
it's a story about a man giving up his comfort place, but for some reason, I couldn't sympathize with him.
i felt more sorry for the old lady who had lived all her life there, and the fact that she has no other place to go to.
