Role of Grand Mosque of Paris in resistance activities during the war. Beautiful descriptions, engaging characters, friendship, family, education, and the steadying influence of a strong faith. Amazing story by @HibaNoorKhan1 So glad my train was delayed so I could finish it!

#Tyger @whatSFSaid Amazing book! Such rich layers. Adventure, intrigue, love, fear, imagination, creativity, perception. And a massive, powerful, gentle, guiding Tyger at the heart of it all. Ironically, my child pointed out the previously unseen cover picture! @DaveMcKean
