Jordan

Willow Trees Don't Weep
by Fadia Faqir

In this fast-paced story, a young woman leaves Jordan to head for Afghanistan on a seach for her radicalised father – who she eventually finds in a prison in the UK. A highly enjoyable read on many levels, not least when the characters stop to eat: their meals are described in meticulous and tempting detail!
