Summer With the Enemy

An Intergenerational tale of life and love seen through the eyes of three women from Raqqa. This novel is a compelling tale that follows the charming, if at times difficult, everyday life of three women - Lamis, her mother Najwa, and her grandmother Karma - and all of the complexities of their relationships with each other, their extended family, and the wider social worlds they inhabit. An intergenerational novel, Summer with the Enemy traces the lives of these women not only in Raqqa where the bulk of the novel is set, but also in the places their families lived before- Turkey, Jerusalem, Aleppo and Damascus.
