An epic, emotional, breathtaking story of love and loss set amid the Syrian revolution. Burning with the fires of hope and possibility, AS LONG AS THE LEMON TREES GROW will sweep you up and never let you go. _______________ SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS DISCOVER BOOK OF THE YEAR 'This is an important book. Everyone should read it' - Elizabeth Laird, award-winning author of Welcome to Nowhere 'Wrenching and lyrical' - Samira Ahmed, New York Times bestselling author of Internment 'Hauntingly beautiful ... a must read' - Huda Fahmy, author of Huda F Are You _______________ 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 was even supposed to be meeting a boy to talk about marriage. Now Salama volunteers at a hospital in Homs, helping the wounded who flood through the doors. She knows that she should be thinking about leaving, but who will help the people of her beloved country if she doesn't? With her heart so conflicted, her mind has conjured a vision to spur her to action. His name is Khawf, and he haunts her nights with hallucinations of everything she has lost. But even with Khawf pressing her to leave, when she crosses paths with Kenan, the boy she was supposed to meet on that fateful day, she starts to doubt her resolve in leaving home at all. Soon, Salama must learn to see the events around her for what they truly are-not a war, but a revolution-and decide how she, too, will cry for Syria's freedom. _______________

Between war, hope and love
I'm at loss for words! As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow is such a moving and heartbreaking book. What I found particular impressive was how emotionally and vividly Zoulfa Katouh portrays everyday life during war. The reader gets a sense of how deeply war changes people's lives and takes away their plans for the future. The psychological effects of war also play an important role in the story. The protagonist, Salama, is still very young, yet she has to make decisions that no one should have to face at the age of 18. This made it possible to understand her fears, guilt and despair. At the same time, the book is not entirely sad. In the midst of all the suffering, there are moments of hope, friendship and love. The relationship between Salama and Kenan in particular creates a beautiful contrast to the brutal reality of war. This book deeply touched me. Katouh's writing is very vivid, emotional and profound. It is a sad but also hopeful story about war, loss, love and the desire for freedom. It is not an easy read, but one I would highly recommend!
