Excellent storytelling, great finish!
Wagih Abu-Rish remains one of the storytellers I so much respect and in this book, Nad of Nadide, the author has once more earned a stronger followership from me.
Using historical facts and complex plot, the author takes us on an amazing romantic adventure. Besides romance, there are other interesting themes that the author covers in this book, ranging from politics, to espionage, redemption and history. In general, the author did justice to this book.
Regardless of the many characters in this book, I still find them interesting to follow, especially the key characters—Nad and Fareed. It is one novel that may eventually find its way to the big screen.
Nad and Fareed’s love story is one you can compare to that of the Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet. The story is suitable for those who enjoy love stories with a lot of romance and fantasy adventures.
One other interesting fact about this book is that it is very relatable to events that are attainable in our current era where political and religious differences tend to put a barrier between people, not to mention social class. If you are a strong fan of love stories, this book is for you. It is easily a 5-star read for me. -

I am such a huge fan of political romance, so reading this book Nad of Nadide was a special treat to me. Yes there was an insta-love trope but I didn't mind because the romance was written in a good, enthralling way that it didn't fail to captivate me. There was a lot of intrigue, conflict, and tension brimming in this book and both Fareed and Nadide made up such great and unforgettable characters. I simply loved the fact that diversification was highlighted in this book as well. I haven't read too many romance books with this theme and for that, I admire this book even more.

Nad of Nadide by Wagih Abu-Rish is a historical romance set in the Middle East in the 1980s. The love of the two protagonists, Fareed of Palestine and Nad of Turkey, is a forbidden one, complicated by political tensions between the two countries. Given Nad’s family’s rank, the odds are stacked against them. I love the characters, including Fareed’s mother, and their development. I was sweating as the plot thickened—“Fareed is missing, and they found signs of struggle in his apartment and traces of blood”. I finished it more quickly than any other romance I’ve read recently, and the ending made me happy. I recommend it to fans of historical political romances who are looking for a more unique take.

What an entertaining historical tale of love and suspense! Author Wagih Abu-Rish has given us an entertaining story that is hard to put down. I’ve been trying to figure out the right words to express the way my heart was entirely invested in, and devoured by, this story but it was a bit complicated.
Words are powerful, and when they are used to make people understand that love is above all political, ethnic or economic differences the reader will know just how amazing they can be.
The characters are developed in a very pleasant way and the plot itself is full of action mixed with romance.
Give it a try, this is a great book! -
I won this book from a Goodreads Giveaway, and that is the only reason I pushed through at first. The storyline itself is quite good. It takes places in the 1980's in Turkey. It's a historical (ew, 1980's is considered historical?! How rude!) romance that is told like someone is telling you a story around the campfire. Once I got used to the way it was written, it was easier to move through. I find it really interesting reading about different cultures and how they approach things in life. I would recommend this book to someone who also enjoys reading things like that. Once you get used to the writing style, it becomes easier to read and I am glad I didn't DNF it.

The High-Performance Culture Playbook by Sam Schreim is the toolset I was looking for. This amazing book is the compilation of 11 book into one. The author did a great job when highlighting the most important facts for a successful outcome in teamwork. Every word present here is important, all the pieces of information is essential. It’s been a long time since I read such a useful book.

Love and politics, the two are difficult to navigate alone but doing both together is almost dangerous. Great read on a day where you can binge on written words and snacks.

I don't usually read books of this nature but I am glad I gave this one a chance. Enjoyed the characters and the plot. This story makes you believe in the power of love, community and family.

A well written love story.
