About this book
A New York Times Bestseller Winner of The Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction Winner of The Aspen Words Literary Prize In a country teetering on the brink of civil war two young people meet sensual fiercely independent Nadia and gentle restrained Saeed. They embark on a furtive love affair and are soon cloistered in a premature intimacy by the unrest roiling their city. When it explodes turning familiar streets into a patchwork of checkpoints and bomb blasts they begin to hear whispers about doors doors that can whisk people far away if perilously and for a price. As the violence escalates Nadia and Saeed decide that they no longer have a choice. Leaving their homeland and their old lives behind they find a door and step through . . .
