  • "Die bewegende Geschichte des Damaszener Kalligraphen Hamid Farsi, der den grossen Traum einer Reform der arabischen Schrift verwirklichen will und nicht merkt, in welche Gefahr er sich begibt. Seine Frau Nuri ahnt nichts von den grossen Plänen ihres Mannes und fühlt sich vernachlässigt. Sie verliebt sich in einen Christen und verschwindet spurlos."
  • "In Damaskus macht ein Gerücht die Runde: Nura, die schöne Frau des berühmten Kalligraphen Hamid Farsi, sei geflüchtet. Warum hat sie ein Leben, um das viele sie beneiden, hinter sich gelassen? Oder war sie Opfer einer Entführung der Gegner ihres Mannes? Schon als junger Mann wird Farsi als Wunderkind der Kalligraphie gefeiert. Nun arbeitet er verbissen an Plänen für eine radikale Reform der arabischen Sprache, nicht ahnend, dass zwischen Nura und seinem Lehrling Salman eine leidenschaftliche Liebe ihren Anfang nimmt - die Liebe zwischen einer Muslimin und einem Christen. Der neue Roman des deutsch-syrischen Autors ist ein grosser Bilderbogen der syrischen Gesellschaft, der alle Sinne der Leser anspricht."
