Discussion Questions

n the first chapter, we met Juliana as she is crying in a UCLA bathroom over her husband’s belittlement of her at work, and his flirtation with another woman. Why do you think she has stayed with him?

Mahaz’s mother Yalima seems to be Juliana’s ally at the end, but was she really? Do you think she knew about her son’s work for the Saudis?
