## Description

As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow ( Certified reading) : Katouh, Zoulfa: desertcart.in: Books

Review: Heartbreakingly beautiful - I don’t quite know how to put this book into words, but I’ll try, because it deserves that. There’s a tenderness in the way this book handles fear, guilt, love, and hope and somehow, it makes space for all of it. The book follows Salama, a pharmacy student turned volunteer at a hospital. Someone who never imagined she'd be in the middle of a revolution, let alone choosing between survival and loyalty. She’s lost family, safety, a sense of home and yet, she stays. Every day, she faces unbearable choices. But in the middle of that darkness, there’s love. There’s hope. There’s even laughter. And there's Kenan, the boy who appears like a whisper of something normal, something kind, in a world that’s been anything but. The author wrote every page so beautifully that it felt like a prayer, or a promise: that even in the worst moments, life finds a way to reach for the sun. There are books you read. And then there are books that stay with you, like the scent of something sweet on your hands hours later. As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow is the latter.
Review: Heart touching ❤️ - It was one of the most beautiful books i have ever read,now it's my favourite and once i started to read it ,i couldn't keep it down,every line has such deep emotions in it that your tears would fall down. It focus on many important topics and affect you deeply.Must read for everyone ✨

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A YA novel with wisdom beyond their age
*by N***R on 10 November 2025*

I had not realised that this was a YA genre when I picked it up. I started as a middle-aged reader but eventually attuned myself to the mindset of the teenage protagonist, Salma. This is a rather difficult read. I had not expected it to be so detailed in its recounting of the Syrian revolution. Reading about the atrocities meted out by the military on the poor civilians, and their physical as well as emotional repercussions on the people, was disturbing. It enlightened me about the history and psyche behind the revolution. In India, we have grown up with stories of sacrifice by our freedom fighters who helped to end the two-century-old colonisation by the British. Hence, I could identify with the idealism behind the cause. Hats off to the author for being bold enough to bring out the horrors of war AND navigate a romance amid this backdrop! The plot twist was definitely unexpected. I kept turning the pages to know what happened to Salma. The other characters are well-etched, too. The author has underlined how humanity survives even in the worst of times, and resilience is the only way to overcome impossible obstacles. I did feel that having two teenagers, aged 18 and 19, dealing with so much trauma so early in life seemed inhuman, but I guess that's the truth about this generation. They have had to deal with so much at such a young age that their normal is very different from ours. No wonder their love stories are about broken people (physically, medically or emotionally). They have accepted the grey shades of humanity very early on. Read this only if you can withstand vivid descriptions of terrorism, blood and gore. Though the author has steered clear of whitewashing reality, she has done it with a lot of grace. A fine balancing act indeed!
