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. _______________

“It reminds me that as long as the lemon trees grow, hope will never die.”
I literally have chills after finishing this book. It was absolutely amazing. I found a book that I could proudly recommend to everyone if they asked me for a book recommendation. The storyline was perfectly executed. And the writing was on top! As long as the Lemon Trees Grow is a heartbreaking novel following 18 year old Salama who is a pharmacy student, but after losing her parents and brother when the Syrian Revolution breaks out, she is forced to volunteer at her local hospital and perform as a doctor undertaking surgeries and trying to keep the wounded alive. Salama is torn from wanting to leave her country to provide a better life for her pregnant Sister in Law Layla and wanting to stay in Syria and be loyal to her country. Hijabi girls, halal romance, they pray, they read Quran, literal perfect depiction of Islam.
