A masterpiece from the best-selling author of the dark side of love. A murder in Damascus, a love with the power to save a young mans life In his latest novel, Rafik Schami ventures to the land of his childhood, where he is now unable to safely return: Syria. As a young girl, Sophia falls deeply in love with Karim, but weds a rich goldsmith instead. A few years later, Karim is accused of an assassination he did not commit and Sophia saves his life. He promises that she will forever have his loyalty, no matter the risk to himself. Long after the incident is buried in memory, Sophia's only son, Salman, returns to Damascus after forty years of exile in Italy; when his photo appears in the newspaper, he is forced into hiding and fears for his life.

Work Description
Als Mädchen war Sophia heftig in Karim verliebt, dennoch heiratete sie einen reichen Goldschmied. Als Karim jedoch unschuldig unter Mordverdacht geriet, rettete sie ihm das Leben. Wann immer sie ihn brauche, verspricht er, wird er ihr helfen, auch unter Lebensgefahr. Viele Jahre später kehrt Sophias einziger Sohn Salman aus dem Exil in Italien nach Damaskus zurück. Plötzlich entdeckt er sein Fahndungsfoto in der Zeitung und muss untertauchen. Jetzt erinnert sich Sophia an das Versprechen Karims, der im Alter eine neue Liebe gefunden hat. In seinem neuen Roman erzählt Rafik Schami von der Macht der Liebe, die Mut und Tapferkeit gibt, die verjüngt und die Leben retten kann.
