«El lado oscuro del amor» is the historical romance novel by Rafik Schami, published by Salamandra in paperback (832 pages, in Spanish).
In the Damascus of the 1960s, Farid and Rana fall in love despite the rivalry of their Christian families: the Mushtaks, Catholics, and the Shahins, Greek Orthodox. Their love, condemned to secrecy and exile, intertwines with decades of Middle Eastern history, from the Ottoman Empire to today's dictatorships and diasporas.
The book was originally published in German as «Die dunkle Seite der Liebe» (2004), with a Spanish translation by Carlos Fortea Gil. It was nominated for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize in 2010.
A work for readers of historical and romantic novels, especially for those seeking stories set in the Middle East.
