As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow Paperback

By Zoulfa Katouh

Salama Kassab was a pharmacy student when the cries for freedom broke out in Syria. Now she volunteers at a hospital in Homs, haunted by a hallucination that embodies her fear, while love — and a lemon tree — insist that hope is still possible. A luminous, devastating debut.
