Summary
Description
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 . . .
