In Praise of Hatred by Khaled Khalifa
On a backdrop of real-life events that occurred during the Syrian regime's ruthless suppression of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1980s, this book uses traditional, layered storytelling that is a powerful echo of the modern-day tragedy that is taking place in the Middle East.
"The novel is at once startling, creative and bold because of its tight construction and well-drawn characters" -- Dr Khaled Hroub, Cambridge University "A Balzacian tale full of romance and murder that ranges from Afghanistan to Yemen to Syria" New York Times "Chillingly true to life" Financial Times "Profoundly moving" Metro
