- As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow is a breathtaking debut novel by Zoulfa Katouh that blends historical fiction, romance, and magical realism against the backdrop of the Syrian Revolution.
- Seventeen-year-old Salama Kassab never expected to become a war-time hospital volunteer. Once a pharmacy student with a future, she’s now focused on survival and saving lives. But Syria is crumbling around her, and Salama is haunted—literally—by a manifestation of her trauma named Khawf. As her fear grows, she contemplates escape…until love gives her one more reason to stay.
