"Mama uma vez disse que a cidade era um mapa de todas as pessoas que viveram e morreram nela, e Baba disse que todo mapa era, na verdade, uma história." Em meio a protestos, conflitos e bombardeios durante a guerra civil de 2011 na Síria, a jovem Nur é forçada a deixar o país em busca de segurança. Quase mil anos antes, Rawiya, aprendiz de cartografia, traça exatamente a mesma rota, numa saga épica por terras desconhecidas. As duas jornadas de amadurecimento se intercalam, enquanto que as protagonistas, embora separadas por séculos de história, espelham as diferentes faces de milhões de refugiados do Oriente Médio e norte da África.

This powerful and lyrical debut novel is to Syria what The Kite Runner was to Afghanistan; the story of two girls living eight hundred years apart—a modern-day Syrian refugee seeking safety and an adventurous mapmaker’s apprentice—“perfectly aligns with the cultural moment” (The Providence Journal) and “shows how interconnected two supposedly opposing worlds can be” (The New York Times Book Review). This “beguiling” (Seattle Times) and stunning novel begins in the summer of 2011. Nour has just lost her father to cancer, and her mother moves Nour and her sisters from New York City back to Syria to be closer to their family. In order to keep her father’s spirit alive as she adjusts to her new home, Nour tells herself their favorite story—the tale of Rawiya, a twelfth-century girl who disguised herself as a boy in order to apprentice herself to a famous mapmaker. But the Syria Nour’s parents knew is changing, and it isn’t long before the war reaches their quiet Homs neighborhood. When a shell destroys Nour’s house and almost takes her life, she and her family are forced to choose: stay and risk more violence or flee across seven countries of the Middle East and North Africa in search of safety—along the very route Rawiya and her mapmaker took eight hundred years before in their quest to chart the world. As Nour’s family decides to take the risk, their journey becomes more and more dangerous, until they face a choice that could mean the family will be separated forever. Following alternating timelines and a pair of unforgettable heroines coming of age in perilous times, The Map of Salt and Stars is the “magical and heart-wrenching” (Christian Science Monitor) story of one girl telling herself the legend of another and learning that, if you listen to your own voice, some things can never be lost.

Un viaje, ochocientos años de diferencia, dos protagonistas: Nour, una refugiada siria que busca seguridad, y Rawiya, una aventurera medieval, aprendiz de un cartógrafo legendario. Es el verano de 2011, y Nour acaba de perder a su padre por cáncer. Su madre, una cartógrafa que crea mapas inusuales pintados a mano, decide trasladar a Nour y sus hermanas de Nueva York a Siria para estar más cerca de su familia. Pero el país está cambiando, y no pasa mucho tiempo antes de que las protestas y los bombardeos amenacen su tranquilo vecindario. Cuando una bomba destruye la casa de Nour y casi le quita la vida, ella y su familia se ven obligados a elegir: quedarse y arriesgarse a más violencia o huir como refugiados a través de siete países del Medio Oriente y el Norte de África en busca de seguridad. A medida que su viaje se vuelve cada vez más difícil, el hogar de Nour se convierte en un sueño que ella lucha por recordar. Más de ochocientos años antes, Rawiya, de dieciséis años e hija de una viuda, sabe que debe hacer algo para ayudar a su empobrecida madre. Inquieta y con ganas de ver el mundo, se va de casa a buscar fortuna. Disfrazándose de un chico llamado Rami, se convierte en aprendiz de Al-Idrisi, el cartógrafo comisionado por el rey Roger II de Sicilia para crear un mapa del mundo. Con él, Rawiya se embarca en un viaje épico a través del Medio Oriente y el norte de África, donde se encuentra con feroces bestias míticas, batallas épicas y figuras históricas reales. Un mapa de sal y estrellas resitúa los titulares de hoy en la historia, donde el dolor del exilio y el triunfo del coraje reviven una y otra vez.

A startling and evocative novel, harkening to both One Day and Gravity, a man and a woman revisit memories of their love affair on a utopian Earth while they are trapped in the vast void of space with only ninety minutes of oxygen left. After the catastrophic destruction of the Middle East and the United States, Europe has become a utopia and, every three years, the European population must rotate into different multicultural communities, living as individuals responsible for their own actions. While living in this paradise, Max meets Carys and immediately feels a spark of attraction. He quickly realizes, however, that Carys is someone he might want to stay with long-term, which is impossible in this new world. As their relationship plays out, the connections between their time on Earth and their present dilemma in space become clear. When their air ticks dangerously low, one is offered the chance of salvation—but who will take it? An original and daring exploration of the impact of first love and how the choices we make can change the fate of everyone around us, this is an unforgettable read.
