Roundabout of Death
by Faysal Khartash & Max Weiss (translator)
To read a novel set in Aleppo, Syria, in 2012, is a glimpse into what it was like to be living there at that time and this book, by Aleppo-born author Faysal Khartash, is an incredible gift. It's about daily life, buying vegetables, visiting your mother, but against a terrible backdrop of a city under constant bombardment. There's also a side trip to ISIS headquarters in Raqqa.
