Barely literate, and supporting his mother and sisters from the age of ten, Abu Chaker built up a business empire--despite twice losing everything he had. Diana Darke follows his tumultuous journey, from instability in Syria and civil war in Lebanon, to his arrival in England in the 1970s, where he rescued a failing Yorkshire textile mill, Hield Bros, and transformed it into a global brand. The Merchant of Syria tells two parallel stories: the life of a cloth merchant and his resilience, and the rich history of a nation built on trade. Over millennia Syria has seen great conflict and turmoil, but like the remarkable story of Abu Chaker, it continues to survive.Binding Type: Hardcover

The Yearning!
Format: Kindle
Loved this read! It was a great pallet cleanser after the normalization of “spice”.
Very cute moments, Levi is my ideal dream of a smart nerdy bf, I cried when I realized the lack of them in real life.
Dani’s internal struggle with insecurity is very realistic and made me reflect on my lived experiences (minus the romance unfortunately).
I did have my moments of rolling my eyes to the back skull at Dani being dense, but the ending made up for it!

Worth it !
I was really excited (but also nervous) to start this book, worried I might not like it. But trust me, it’s absolutely worth it!
I found myself kicking my feet every time the male main character appeared, and I loved how the story was written in such a lighthearted way. It’s refreshing, especially since so many romances nowadays lean toward darker themes, forbidden love, or enemies-to-lovers plots
The little details the author included made the book feel extra special, and the main character quickly became one of my favourites. She feels so real and relatable which made reading her story even more enjoyable
Yes, there are a few cliché moments, but honestly, that’s part of what makes the book so sweet and comforting. It’s the perfect story if you just want to relax, escape, and forget your problems for a while.
I’d especially recommend it for new readers or anyone learning the language, since it’s both fun and easy to follow
Overall, I really loved this book and highly recommend it, (and I will definitely will be getting the other book from Liana Cincotti!)
