This is a multi-generational story about three women. The first part of the book was really good, telling the story of Miriam and her family in Palestine. The second part of the book was okay, telling the story of Miriam's rebellious daughter, Nadia. The third part of the book was somewhat boring, telling the story of Nadia's daughter, Nijmeh, who moves to America. The book was kind of repetitious for me.

Green on Blue tells the story of Aziz, a boy growing up in Afghanistan who changes from an innocent child to a man who vows to look after his older brother after their family is killed and he is wounded.  Go through the chaos, fear and heartbreak with Aziz while he gets his revenge.

A novel about a young man's experience of growing up with a schizophrenic mother and a loving father. The young man begins studying acting and tries hard to escape from who he truly is and leave his home life behind. Eventually he has to decide whether he can continue hiding in his new life or embrace the situation and return to help his family. The author has a way with words. The story flows together well, the characters are well developed, and I had a hard time putting this book down.

I didn't like the book from the beginning, but I was hoping it would get better. It never happened. Everyone was tutting and smiling tightly. Going back and forth from past to present was confusing for me. Every problem anyone has ever had in the world, this book has them in it.
