I couldn't put it down.... *by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2018* I'm lucky to have a job where I can listen to audio books or text-to-speech books on my Kindle every day. So I listen to 2-3 books every week...lots of books every year. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE LISTENED TO IN YEARS!!! It was a real page turner. It is so good. So this weekend I had my 14 year old grandson watch a documentary on the history of the Syrian war and Syrian refugees before he begins to read this book. Excellent book to help him ( and me ) understand current events...you 'll feel like you are traveling with characters.... I hope someone makes a movie based on this book. Planning to read her other novel next. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A Land of Permanent Goodbyes" is a timely and well-researched ... *by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018* “A Land of Permanent Goodbyes" is a timely and well-researched book. Not only because the Syrian civil war is ongoing and the refugee crisis continues to be a reality—though it no longer makes headlines—but also because of the Trump administration’s Muslim ban. This novel humanizes the Syrian people in a way that few news stories can. Tareq and his family—like families everywhere—have very real hopes, dreams, and basic needs of stability and security. It’s the injustice and brutality of Bashar Al-Assad’s government that forced many Syrians to become refugees, not by choice, but by destiny—only to end up on Europe’s doorstep hoping to regain their humanity. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Book Will Stick With You *by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2018* A Land of Permanent Goodbyes is a devastating and compelling tale of a Syrian teenager trying to find a better life for himself after most of his family is killed. Abawi keenly observes a traumatic situation and does with with great humanity, showing the reader that the protagonist Tareq, is just young guy who wants what everyone wants - love, acceptance, a job, his family. Abawi's attention to the little details of a refugee's crossing will stick with me: The longing Tareq has for his Syrian hometown that existed just a few years ago; the seaside towns in Greece that sell fake life jackets to the desperate people about to risk their lives in rubber dinghies in the open water. A beautiful told story that stuck with me for weeks after reading. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/59484521-a-land-of-permanent-goodbyes](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/59484521-a-land-of-permanent-goodbyes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
