I loved Nadia Hashimi’s writing and Mozhan Marno did an excellent job bring it to life with her narration. I didn’t want to stop listening the whole time.
This story has so much within that it keeps you interested and doesn’t get stale. This has death, grief, trauma, the foster care system, immigration, achievement, family relationships, governmental powers and much more. I was so glad I read Spark Like Stars. I don’t know why it took me so long.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone that enjoys historical fiction, women overcoming their past, and stories of other cultures. I will definitely be adding this one to my favorite/must read lists.
