THE DARK SIDE OF LOVE - RAFIK SCHAMI KARTONIERT...

A dead man hangs from the portal of St Paul's Chapel in Damascus. He was a Muslim officer - and
he was murdered. But when Detective Barudi sets out to interrogate the man's mysterious widow 
the Secret Service takes the case away from him. Barudi continues to investigate clandestinely
and discovers the murderer's motive: it is a blood feud between the Mushtak and Shahin clans 
reaching back to the beginnings of the 20th century. And  linked to it  a love story that can
have no happy ending  for reconciliation has no place within the old tribal structures. Rafik
Schami's dazzling novel spans a century of Syrian history in which politics and religions
continue to torment an entire people. Simultaneously  his poetic stories from three generations
tell of the courage of lovers who risk death sooner than deny their passions. He has also
written a heartfelt tribute to his hometown Damascus and a great and moving hymn to the power
of love.
