More about the book

This is the story of a young Libyan woman (Sara Leptis is not her real name) who graduated in England full of dreams and ambitions but returned to her home city of Tripoli to face only tragedy, disaster and deprivation when civil war broke out there in 2011. The author tells how she fell in love with a man she met on the streets of her city before their world began to implode in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. It is a story of a country in crisis, and how a terrible civil war changed the fateof two lovers. It is also an eyewitness account of the way a land which had been a peaceful, productive NorthAfrican paradise became the impoverished, unstable war zone it remains today.
