What We Say: "The Pulitzer Prize-winning author's latest novel is a testament to the power of friendship and the courage to stand up for one's beliefs. Khaled and Mustafa, two Libyan students, find themselves in a world of political turmoil and uncertainty, however, their unwavering determination and willingness to fight for justice take them on a journey that changes their lives forever" – Samantha de Haas
