As Long the Lemon Trees Grows

AS LONG AS THE LEMON TREE GROWS

by Zoulfa Katouh

Zoulfa Katouh writes with urgency as she sketches scenes of death and war; but she also gives us protagonists with aspirations, fierce loyalties and blazing hearts that show us how love and hope can, and must arise, when survival is not guaranteed. This heart-on-the-sleeve writing is determined, providing a window into the personal and everyday experiences of life at the beginning of the Syrian crisis. ​
