And here's the latest review from Bradley Knox at Hogwash:
This is a story that is close to my heart, for a number of reasons. The
story takes place around the lives of two immigrants to the pacific
northwest from Eritrea / Ethiopia. One is Muslim, the other, Christian.
They both find themselves at a crossroads in their new lives in Seattle
separately and together. The richness of the descriptions of their
homelands, their tragedies, and their lost families is complex,
beautiful, and sad. Despite these losses, they look positively to the
futures that they have created and are creating in this new, completely
foreign frontier. I love the history in this book, as the African region
that our key characters hail from is one of the oldest in the world.
And how Gemi & Kidane look at and embrace the new worlds that they
find themselves in just keeps you wanting to continually get back to
their lives! This is a world class read, and I am anticipating many more
fine books by Arleen Williams. Easily, five stars!
