    How do you feel the author, as a man, wrote from a women's perspective? Was it believable to you?

    I think miriam was more believable than laila. Miriam was already hardly an ordinary person having grown up in isolation with a very bitter and disturbed woman for a mother - her lack of change in personality following horrific marital abuse was more believable due to her already having been denied love, etc.

    I thought the descriptions of miriam finding love for the first time in Aziza were a little cooked, though. Could have used a longer realisation point on that one.

    Laila was tough. I see he was trying to create the strong female character, but I think she turned out a little too perfect - Mary Sue like.
