What’s next in store for you? Any ideas for a new book? Also, The Almond Tree has received some amazing reviews, so much so that it has been spoken on par with Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner. Does that feel like it’s too much pressure, especially since readers will now have high expectations from whatever you write next?
