Finalist for the 2018 International Prize for Arabic Fiction
A timely and haunting novel from an exciting new voice in international literature, set in present-day Syria
In her therapist's waiting room in Damascus, Suleima meets a strange and reticent man named Naseem, and they soon begin a tense affair. But when Naseem, a writer, flees Syria for Germany, he sends Suleima the unfinished manuscript of his novel. To Suleima's surprise, she and the novel's protagonist are uncannily similar. As she reads, Suleima's past overwhelms her and she has no idea what to trust - Naseem's pages, her own memory, or nothing at all?
Narrated in alternating chapters by Suleima and the mysterious woman portrayed in Naseem's novel, The Frightened Ones is a boundary-blurring, radical examination of the effects of oppression on one's sense of identity, the effects of collective trauma, and a moving window into life inside Assad's Syria.

"[A] multilayered tale of depression and fear framed by violence, discrimination, displacement, and revolution in Damascus after the 2011 uprising ... This deeply humane examination of wartime Syrians and their coping mechanisms deserves a look." (Publishers Weekly)
"This Syrian novel toggles between two women - the narrator, and the heroine of a manuscript her former lover wrote - to paint a textured picture of Damascus at war with itself." (The New York Times Book Review)
