Elias's story was too unrelatable and hard to identify with. Then Yaser was just annoying and complained too much without actually trying to solve his problems that I didn't like him from the start.

I agree. I was also made with Nadia for lying to her son and thought she should have been honest with him.hsimone wrote:I agree with many here, c was the most relatable and likable. Being independent, determined, and fighting for her rights in the type of society she lived in makes her a strong character. I do also agree I was sooo mad for a few minutes with her when she decided to lie to her son and go to Verona without him. I'm happy that she changed her mind, but I was so surprised that it even crossed her mind since the whole point of the trip was to travel with her son for the first time.

I agree with this - liked her for her strength and boldness in a society that would shun her for it.CatInTheHat wrote:Probably Nadia. She chose single motherhood in a culture where divorce is lesson common and less acceptable, even if it's due to abuse.

I loved malika too with her childhood dreams .i loved the part when she become the english malika , How she was choosing her clients that would help her in learning. I have been inspired by her new mature character .how she believed her dreams .insist on learning and getting out from the shadow of her parents and her miserable live , and how she ended up with elias .she is my favourite !juliusotinyo wrote:Elias evoked alot of childhood emotions on me, growing up in a popular tourist spot in East Africa. I believe his actions were quite noble with Malika, few clients if any, would do what he did even after knowing her age.
