The Alkasem brothers, Riyad and Bashar, spend their childhood in Raqqa, the city that would later became the capital of ISIS. As a teenager in the 1980s, Riyad witnesses the devastating aftermath of the Hama massacre—an atrocity by the Assad regime. Wanting to expand his notion of government and justice, Riyad moves to the US to study law, but his plans are derailed and he eventually falls in love with a Southern belle. Bashar, meanwhile, stayed in Syria and embarked on a brilliant legal career under the same corrupt Assad government that Riyad despised.

Gripping & Meaningful
Revisado: 09-04-20
Jordan Ritter Conn unfurls the story of family—lineage, bond, separation, reunion and the unknown future—as he takes the reader deep into worlds that coexist and connect while at the same time seem as if they reside in two completely different universes. Ritter Conn deftly educates the reader on history and geopolitics while introducing the Alkasem family with exquisite depth and tenderness to which every human can relate.
Gripping and powerful. Best book I’ve read this year!
