As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow book overview:

As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh is a powerful and deeply emotional young adult novel set in contemporary Syria during the early years of the revolution. The story follows Salama, a pharmacy student whose life is transformed by war. Once focused on her studies and an ordinary future, she now volunteers in a hospital, treating the wounded while struggling with fear, grief, and responsibility far beyond her years.

Haunted by loss and the constant danger surrounding her, Salama wrestles with an impossible choice: stay in her beloved but war-torn homeland to help those in need, or attempt a perilous escape with the people she loves. She is accompanied—psychologically and symbolically—by a manifestation of her trauma, a figure only she can see, who pushes her toward survival at all costs.

The novel beautifully captures the contrast between what Syria was—full of family, food, everyday joys, and the scent of lemon trees—and what war has forced it to become. Through lyrical writing and intense emotion, it explores resilience, love, guilt, and hope amid devastation. As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow ultimately asks how far someone will go to protect the people they love, and whether hope can endure even in the darkest circumstances.
