“Refuge is an unrelenting page turner which drags you unwillingly through the labyrinth of horrors endured by ordinary Syrian people every day…there is no hiding place for them or the reader.”

-Yvonne Ridley,British Journalist & Author

“Gripping & emotional.A poignant reminder that bolts of lightning light up the darkest of skies even during the most vicious of thunderstorms.”

-Maseeha Saloojee,South African Aid Worker,teaching in Syria.

“Syria has been a part of my life since the war started in 2011 & there are few works(if any!)that have captured the essence & details in words of the struggling Syrian people the way Refuge has.Sajla Annes has wonderfully presented that human side that is largely overlooked in a war zone.”

-Bilal Abdul Kareem,American Journalist based in Syria
