Haris Abadi is a man in search of a cause. An Arab American with a conflicted past, he is now in Turkey, attempting to cross into Syria and join the fight against Bashar al-Assad's regime. But he is robbed before he can make it, and is taken in by Amir, a charismatic Syrian refugee and former revolutionary, and Amir's wife, Daphne, a sophisticated beauty haunted by grief. As it becomes clear that Daphne is also desperate to return to Syria, Haris's choices become ever more wrenching: Whose side is he really on? Is he a true radical or simply an idealist? And will he be able to bring meaning to a life of increasing frustration and helplessness? Told with compassion and a deft hand, Dark at the Crossing is an exploration of loss, of second chances, and of why we choose to believe-a trenchantly observed novel of raw urgency and power."--Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20180130. 650 $a Arab Americans $z Turkey $v Fiction. 650 $a Arab Americans. 650 $a Refugees $z Syria $v Fiction. 650 $a Refugees. 651 7 $a Syria. 651 7 $a Turkey $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Turkey. 655 7 $a War fiction. 655 7 $a Fiction. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. 941 $a 5 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214050704.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092933.0 952 $l KHPB566 $d 20230126011911.0 952 $l CGPC482 $d 20220526011724.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20180727011921.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=718B5066916211E8B149C57097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
