À propos de cet audio
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.
Now Salama volunteers at a hospital in Homs, helping the wounded who flood through the doors daily. Secretly, though, she is desperate to find a way out of her beloved country before her sister-in-law, Layla, gives birth. So desperate, that she has manifested a physical embodiment of her fear in the form of her imagined companion, Khawf, who haunts her every move in an effort to keep her safe.
But even with Khawf pressing her to leave, Salama is torn between her loyalty to her country and her conviction to survive. Salama must contend with bullets and bombs, military assaults, and her shifting sense of morality before she might finally breathe free. And when she crosses paths with the boy she was supposed to meet one 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.

Dublin, 1962. Within the gated grounds of the convent of the Sisters of the Holy Redemption lies one of the city's Magdalen Laundries. Once places of refuge, the laundries have evolved into grim workhouses. Some inmates are "fallen" women - unwed mothers, prostitutes, or petty criminals. Most are ordinary girls whose only sin lies in being too pretty, too independent, or tempting the wrong man. Among them is 16-year-old Teagan Tiernan, sent by her family when her beauty provokes a lustful revelation from a young priest.

I just finished this audio book and I want to sit somewhere quiet with a cup of tea to think about all the things that were brought up in the book. The readers voice was so easy to listen to and I appreciated the authenticity of the language used.
Excited to buy a hard copy for myself and already have a list of friends I need to buy this book for as a gift. The whole experience was Beautiful.

A fictional story about a pharmacist turned ER surgeon, living in modern-day Syria who struggles to stay alive during civil unrest. She battles mental illness, stemming from PTSD when her family is captured, with a few surprises along the way when she decides to escape the country for a better life.
Overall it was a good story. While I found parts of it sad, by no means did it make me weepy. I found the story very anti-climatic and would have loved a bit less predictability. The first half of the book is a slower burn with the backend more interesting for me. Regardless, I would still recommend this for anyone looking for a solid story with insight into living in a war-torn country or if you prefer books with no "sex, drugs, and rock n' roll".
3/5*
Not as thrilling as I thought it would be but a solid read
