Paperback. As new.

From the author of Green on Blue, an incredible timely love story set between Turkey and Syria.

Haris Abadi is an Arab-American with a conflicted past. He’s come to Turkey, hoping to cross the border into Syria and fight Bashar al-Assad’s regime there. But when he’s robbed on his way there, he is taken in by a charismatic Syrian refugee named Amir—and Amir’s wife, the sophisticated, beautiful Daphne. As Haris becomes enmeshed in Amir and Daphne’s lives, and it becomes clear that Daphne also wants to go to Syria, Haris finds himself torn. Whose side is he really on? Is he a radical or an idealist? Dark at the Crossing is a trenchant novel about love, homecomings, and identity set in one of the most volatile parts of the world.
