i loved the oasis from the description the author had written.. but the ending wasn't satisfying.. but as a whole a must read book.. a bit depressing but i realised from the begining that mahmoud will die.. but the suspense of how or when.. but his death yet was surprising.. and katherine and sheikh saber and wasfy i hated so much.. so many traditions and oasis rules.. yet remains a mystery..I couldn't read more than 10 pagesBaha is good and nice gentleman, but his writing make me feel sick.
