Very informative novel regarding the lives of young women of college age in modern day Syria. Portrays lives of a number of different women whose lives intersect and meld. I enjoyed this first novel by Kati Woronka. Our club has a member who is a childhood friend of Kati\\\\\\\'s. We had the gift of a 30 minute conference call with her in London during our discussion.

This is a debut self-published book, based on research for a master\\\'s degree. The author does a fine job of bringing us into the lives of college-age girls in Syria. It brings to light the diversity of faiths found among the women in a college dorm. Our group had a conference call with the author which further enriched our appreciation of her work. I can\\\'t wait to see what she writes next.
