Although there were actual sand people in the book, the plot doesn't revolve much around the book's title. When I first read the title, the first thing that came to mind was that it would be a story of a lost civilization of sand people probably hidden somewhere.

When I first picked up this book and read the title, the first thing that crossed my mind was that it was about politics. The title feels quite vague and does not leave much information about the content of the book.

My first impression of the title of the book is
that it could be seen as a title that might either focus on the aspects of desert-dwelling people or cultures.

As is obvious from the extended title, it seems like a time travel mystery. However, just the "SandPeople" seems exciting and full of intrigue.

First, that is what I thought until I started reading it. the title may tilt you the first moment but it is about the effects and impacts of divorce on a relationship and family.

The mentioning of the sand people is for a reason. Reading further from the book would make you understand. Sandpeople ~ desert-dwelling! I get it.

I also believed in that too. I think I had many thoughts running through my mind at the moment I saw the title.
