As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow

An important story, beautifully told, Katouh introduces us to Salama Kassab. A pharmacy student when cries for freedom break out in Syria, she now volunteers in a hospital to help the wounded, but she is conflicted. Should she be leaving? Or will Kenan, a boy she crosses paths with, change her mind? Both beautiful and heartbreaking, this gorgeous story shows us the struggle of the Syrian people and the hope they have – and you will fall in love with Salama and Kenan. A powerful read.
