'WONDERFUL, WITTY, VERY ORIGINAL' INDEPENDENT

Love, religion and revolution in summer, 2001 . . .

Second-generation Londoner Sami Traifi's life is in turmoil. Unsure where it went wrong – or how to put it right – he makes a brief trip to visit relatives in Damascus. But there – courtesy of a nasty family secret – things only seem to get worse.

Back home in London, the non-believer Sami must face up to his fraying marriage, his wife's decision to wear the hijab and her brother's hip-hop Islamism. And these are the least of his problems. He wants to be a good British citizen – but he's not sure what that means anymore. While the police's idea of one is certainly not his. He must ask himself: what will I do in the name of belief? And what won't I do? What do I love most?

The Road from Damascus is a brave, funny and exhilarating contemporary novel that asks questions about the choices we make and ponders how those choices not only affect us but those we love the most.
