The two main characters are unlikable and that makes the whole journey with them miserable. The story is ok, and some of the details about life in Jordan were interesting, but I kept waiting for something unexpected to happen. It never did. The worst part was the narration of Margaret’s character. The narrator’s silly, childish, nasal presentation of the character was unbearable. I cringed every time the narrator switched to Margaret. I wanted to quit the book several times due to the narration. This book was ultimately a waste of time.
