Salama Kassab was a pharmacy student when the cries for freedom broke out in Syria. She still had her parents and her big brother; she still had her home. She had a normal teenager’s life. Now Salama volunteers at a hospital in Homs, helping the wounded who flood through the doors daily. Secretly, though, she is desperate to find a way out of her beloved country before her sister-in-law, Layla, gives birth. So desperate, that she has manifested a physical embodiment of her fear in the form of her imagined companion.

Emotional, Beautiful Read
Revisado: 05-03-24
If you liked The Book Thief, you will love this novel about young adults navigating love, life, and trauma during the Syrian Revolution. There are many literary elements reminiscent of The Book Thief, but the narrative is faster paced. However, this did take me longer to read because there were times the story was so emotional, I had to take breaks. It is all too reflective of what we are still seeing happening in our world today. Katouni brilliantly employs characterization, nonlinear plot elements, and beautifully descriptive language to humanize the conflict that has been ongoing since 2011.
