This is not the usual genre that I read, but I truly did enjoy it. It was captivating and gripping, and though there was so much going on, it was easy to read and follow. I learned so much and developed an appreciation for the different cultures, and was able to see things from a very different viewpoint than I am used to. It is a story about politics and love, turmoil and suspense. I definitely can see this becoming a movie.
