«El lado oscuro del amor» is the romantic and historical novel by Rafik Schami, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (840 pages, in Spanish).
In the Damascus of the 1960s, Farid and Rana, two young people from rival Christian families —Catholic and Greek Orthodox—, fall in love. Their relationship defies the law of the clans and leads them to a clandestine love and exile. The novel interweaves their destinies with a rich gallery of characters and with the turbulent panorama of the Middle East, from Syria to Lebanon.
The work was originally published in German as «Die dunkle Seite der Liebe» and was shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize in 2010.
For readers of historical and romantic fiction interested in twentieth-century Syria and in loves marked by religious and family differences.
