And now, with everything that’s happened, my responsibility and the only family I have left in the world.

even though the memories ache, it's the only way we get to see our loved ones – replaying their words to us, letting our imaginations magnify or soften their voices however we please.' Don’t focus on the darkness and sadness. If you do, you won’t see the light even if it’s staring you in the face.” Kenean and salama relationship was so beautiful and adorable and heartwarming. So pure so innocent <3 I loved their banter so much. How the smallest touch between them made my heart melt. It makes the book so much stronger in its impact, but also gives it peace in the losses (you'll know what I'm talking about when you read) 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 had a normal teenager’s life.

Reviews

Several men stand outside the supermarket, their faces gaunt and marked with malnourishment but their eyes sparkling with light. When I pass by, I hear bits of their conversation, but I don’t linger. I know what they’re talking about. It’s what everyone has been talking about for the past nine months. The author explores themes of guilt, as Salama toys with the idea of fleeing Syria, effectively leaving the familiar faces of the revolution behind. Kengerian yang dibangun oleh Katouh pun makin tereskalasi lewat caranya yang selalu berusaha menyampaikan detail pergolakan emosi Salama melakukan operasi darurat. Ketakutan dan rasa bersalah selalu jadi emosi paling dominan yang Salama rasakan. Ia takut tangannya tak cukup cakap menyelamatkan nyawa seseorang apalagi ia adalah mahasiswa farmasi yang sebenarnya tak punya latar belakang kedokteran.
