Amineh was my favorite character as I could relate to her personal doubts and struggle to be loved and respected. She was a strong woman which showed from time to time when she stood up to Farzad. Patrik would be my second favorite character because he was such a loving and devoted man who did his best to honor and respect the wife of his friend under difficult circumstances. His devotion to his partner Annette was remarkable with the burden that it brought him.

Patrik was my favorite. I thought he brought a real contrast to many other characters, especially because he was from another culture. He was a constant and stable support for Amineh throughout most of the book. Patrick was able to provide Amineh the emotional connection that was lacking in her marriage. They both seemed to connect at a deep level over the years in spite of the fact that they couldn't be together.

Patrik came across as the nicest guy but one with strong convictions and passion while also being pragmatic and always wanting to do right by others.
Loved Mahasti for her free spirit and the courage to challenge her brother despite being so much younger.
Amineh, of course was the most complex. Despite her complex upbringing, she came across as the independent thinker despite honoring the tradition of family and commitments, standing her ground every now and then with the likes of Ava and Patrik by her side.
Fatemah was the least likeable, along with Naser and Vaziri. Not to forget the grandmother
