As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh

5.0

I have family that are Syrian who had to leave due to the war and revolution and while I knew briefly of the situation, this book gave me a much better view point of what’s happening over there. This book is not only about the trauma and horrors Salama and Kenan witnessed, but hope. This book was devastating and so beautiful and I could not put it down. It broke my heart, but also taught me so much about hope. I cannot recommend this book enough and I could not put it down.
