Boston, 2017: When Hadi returns to his heavily pregnant partner Sama after a trip to Jordan tobury his father, he is stopped at border control - a hostile new immigration law has just beenenacted - while she awaits him on the other side.

Worlds apart, suspended between hope and disillusion as hours become days become weeks,Sama and Hadi yearn for a way back to each other, and to the life they'd dreamed up together.

But does that life exist any more, or was it only an illusion?

Achingly intimate yet poignantly universal, No Land to Light On is the story of a family caughtup in forces beyond their control, fighting for the freedom and home they found in one another.

Reviews for No Land to Light On

Zgheib writes so lyrically about rootlessness, separation and a fierce longing for home that it makes the tragedy of war that much easier to bear. Sama and Hadi will always hold a special place in my heart. -- ALKA JOSHI, author of The Henna Artist and The Secret Keeper of Jaipur A masterful story of tragedy and redemption, an entire history told through the prism of a single Syrian couple, beginning and ending with love. -- HALA ALYAN, award-winning author of Salt Houses and The Arsonists' City Zgheib has created a tense, moving novel about the meaning of home, the risks of exile, the power of nations, and the power of love. * Kirkus *
