✅ REVIEW

This is a short novel about an Iranian immigrant taking the U.K. citizenship test. Of course, things happen during the test that have irreversible consequences.

The book explores elements about the immigration experience and morals/ethics. It was interesting and captivating from the beginning and I read it in a single sitting.
