"Come Helen, come, give me my soul again.
Here I dwell, for Heaven is in these lips."
The two main leads Cyrus and Layla were burning flames which kept me going on and on, craving for more. Cyrus, who had forgotten life from years of being in darkness and Layla, pure and perfect beauty who could transform to a sharp tigress when needed. It just struck my heart how a women could whisper life and love in a frozen heart of a man who had forgotten warmth a long time ago, by just a glance of her blue eyes. Actually that is what we call LOVE.
" Where there is no guidance, a nation falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety." Besides that love and danger, a lesson was ongoing in each and every page of novel that was: it doesn’t matter, to which religion or caste you belong to, what matters is that you belong to humanity, let the voice of your soul guide you that you are not allowed to shed blood of your brothers just because they belong to another nation. That is what taught Cyrus taught me. Being an Iranian, he betrayed his own nation and their nuclear program just for the protection of whole humanity. What else that my mind can’t get rid of is thoughts of beasts lying in skins of guardians of folks, whose hunger for sex devastates the purity of female prisoners, and if situation seems to get out of plot, theses prisoners are brutally killed after being raped. It affected my mind in a worse manner. Moreover, ending scene was when I did burst into tears & couldn’t control my feelings: when the baby girl opened her eyes and Cyrus saw waves of Nile river in her eyes.
Overall, I loved the plot and of course, I must admire writer’s way of writing & how her words were enough to potentially reside me in that circle of love, fear, anger and somehow misery. I would rate it 4 out of 4 because it deserves so, everything was well at par, realistic, the characters, they provoked a real meaning of existence at least for me, words depicted so much that I could imagine each and every scene taking shape in my mind. If you are looking for a spicy, thriller to make your day hot, this novel is exactly what you are looking for. I would strongly not recommend it for immature, as it contains a lot of sex scenes along with detailed description which isn’t suitable for underage peeps.
