She finds refuge in a fantasy world full of colored crayons, secret planets, and The Little Prince, reciting passages of the Qur'an like a mantra as everything and everyone around her is blown to bits. Since Rima hardly ever speaks, people think she's crazy, but she is no fool--the madness is in the battered city around her. One day while taking a bus through Damascus, a soldier opens fire and her mother is killed. Rima, wounded, is taken to a military hospital before her brother leads her to the besieged area of Ghouta--where, between bombings, she writes her story. 586 $a Winner, English PEN Award 650 0 $a Teenage girls $z Syria $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social isolation $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Syria $x History $y Civil War, 2011- $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Damascus (Syria) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Price, Leri, $e translator. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014129.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100313.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221122011157.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220302013021.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=44181700540911EC8AFFC1EC4EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
