Representaion Toward Books The Syrian Virgin (The Syrian Virgin #1)
Anissa is traumatized by the most brutal conflict of the 21st Century: the Syrian Civil War. In 2012, Islamists in Homs terrorize a Syrian-Christian community and destroy everything that a young woman holds dear. Narrowly escaping death, Anissa restarts her devastated life as a college student in NY. She is bewildered and lost — a virgin in every sense.But despite her inexperience with men and life in the United States, Anissa is quickly drawn to two powerful individuals: Michael Kassab, the Syrian-American leader working to found the first Mideast Christian state, and Julien Morales, her Columbia University professor who runs a $20 billion hedge fund.
Complicating matters, Michael is still attached to his ex-girlfriend and Julien is the most sought after bachelor in Manhattan (and has hidden demons even his therapist can’t extract). Anissa’s heart and her communal ties pull her in different directions, as she seeks hope and renewal in a dark world.
WARNING: This book is about a young woman’s difficult journey: her escape from Syria’s Civil War, her transition to a new a country, and the relationships that she forms along the way, including her romantic interests in two very different men. The story is set against the backdrop of the Syrian Civil War and makes reference to violent acts, sometimes in detail. There is some occasional profanity and a few scenes that depict sexual intimacy. Accordingly, the recommended minimum age for readers is 16. The novel might be compared to books like The Diary of Anne Frank or The Kite Runner.

Complimentary copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.Anissa is hardly even a teenager when she must flee Syria, bound for the United States where she will seek asylum and live with her uncle. After witnessing the deaths of most of her family and the hands of Muslim Jihadists, and leaving the other half behind with other relatives, Anissa must start from the beginning, building a life that would have made her parents proud while maintaining a legacy as a Syriac Christian.This review can originally be found on Olivia's Catastrophe: http://olivia-savannah.blogspot.nl/20...*Thank you to the author for the review copy*This book was pretty good. It was written in diary format with two alternating points of view, but mainly Anissas. I really liked the main character, Anissa. She was a brave girl, someone who was hard working and determined to not let the society she ended up in sway her judgment and her own morals. She wasnt someone who conformed to other people, and

In a sea of cookie cutter romances that lack research, The Syrian Virgin is a refreshing change and stands out at the head of its class in contemporary romance.I loved the level of detail that went into writing this story. It showcases the amount of time and energy that went into exploring the situation surrounding not only the historic and current state in Syria but the Middle Eastern region in general. It also made me question how we currently receive information through mass media outlets in
This was a book that was so many things to me..first I became so much more aware of the Middle East and the world around me and how we think we perceive a situation or a way of life. This is also a tale of a young women written in diary form, sent from Syria, from her family for a chance at a new life. The writing is superb in laying out the world from where she came to the new adventures to which she embarks. She is driven by her promise to her father to excel in her chance at a new life. Her
Rated R for sensuality, sexuality, strong language, strong violence, and mature thematic material.I was asked to read and review this book even thoughactually, becauseI dont seem to be the intended audience (which seems to be romance fans). Nevertheless, I will give this my best shot. My first question was why, precisely, this book seems to have appeal to romance fans. If, as has been suggested to me, the book is about the persecution of Syrian Christians, why would the main audience like books
5 Stars!I was given this book to read in turn for an honest review!!!Anissa at the young age of fifteen fled to New York to follow her father's wish. Traumatised and changed forever by the Syrian Civil War she had no choice but to flee. Anissa was a traditional Christian; her mother expressed to Anissa that her virginity was special to be shared with only the man she marries. Anissa has a fresh start in America; the continuous conflict back home is never far from her mind. Determined to one day
