Here comes the world to you like it has never come before. Elmar Krekeler, DIE WELT. Amal and Hammoudi are young, beautiful, and privileged, and they believe in the revolution in their country. But suddenly they lose everything and must fight for survival. They flee. A shocking, direct, and unforgettable book. Amal watches the women on the street. Suddenly, she realizes that she no longer belongs. No one pays attention to her anymore. Where is her home? Her career? And her street, which always smelled of jasmine? Where are her books and records? Where are her friends and relatives? The parties and the summer by the pool? The world has invented a new race: that of refugees, Muslims, or newcomers. The condescension is palpable in every breath. When the Syrian revolution breaks out, Amal celebrates her first successes as an actress and dreams.
