Rahim Makhdoomi quotes the memoir in a well-structured context and recreates the reminiscent of Mostafa’s mother with a simple social language. Excerpt of the book: I love the same Mostafa as it is now. He had no fear; not a coward who is afraid of his job! If I had the power to take my boy back, no doubt I would take him! However, with all of my love, I can’t ignore his firmness and single-mindedness. I loved his goal and the fact that he was a man!
