AS LONG AS THE LEMON TREE GROWS: Zoulfa Katouh
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.
