What a wonderful romance novel! And it is such a current
topic right now, with the refugee situation that the concept of this book intrigued
me and I am glad I got it. The story follows Janan and Pieter how their lives
start and ultimately intertwine and the love that blossoms from it.
Janans sense of duty and honor towards her family and
friends was admirable and something that I was able to identify with and made
me emphasize with her much more than any other character. Janan ends up asking
Pieter for one night, and one night only, (mainly because she is under the
impression that he will be leaving her small town and so the possibility of gossip
or heartache of seeing him would be removed), but over the course of that one
night they discover afterwards that they have lost their hearts to each other
and so much more. After some predictable turmoil they find their ways back to
each other and are united again.
Even with some predictable situations and plot turns (it is
a romance after all), this story was refreshing and entertaining to read. Great
book!
