This is a searing and incredibly important book, storytelling at its best' Donal Ryan'A cat has seven souls in Arabic. In English cats have nine lives. You probably have both nine lives and seven souls, because otherwise I don't know how you've made it this far.'Growing up in Syria, Sami's childhood is like that of any ordinary child's - an innocent blend of home and school, of friends and siblings and pets (including stray cats and dogs, and the turtle he keeps on the roof). But everything changes when his country fractures into civil war, and young Sami is forced to leave his family and train as a map maker.Inspired by extraordinary true events, The Stray Cats of Homs started out as a love story, and turned into a novel.
