The dazzling, heart-wrenching new story of friendship, loss and identity from the author of international bestseller As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow.

Can Jihad become as resilient as the meaning of her name, and let the colour back into her life? An unputdownable YA book about family, friendship, grief and trust from a masterful writer of the genre.
