Truly Captivating, An absolutely wonderful read! This story is one of the most beautiful and deeply moving novels that I have read in a very long time. It is so well written and draws you into the lives of the characters in such a way that you have to keep reading to find out what happens next. Mr. Osborne writes a story that is full of love,hatred,compassion, anguish, and yearning. The world the author creates is authentic. It mad me laugh, smile, and most importantly cry.You can hear the sounds he describes, see the setting in vivid detail. One comes to understand how undervalued women were in Saudi Arabia. The bad guys make there presence known and it's just damn scary!Noor is such a beautifully written smart hopeful young woman. Charlie is so caring, loving and determined.Read this book, give it a chance, but you will need to read book 1 "Refuge" first because this continues with Noor and Charlies life. I promise you will not be disappointed. I can't wait for book 3 - bring it on!! Thank you, Mr. Osborne, for sharing your gift of writing and perspective with readers.I received an arc provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
