A WORD FOR LOVE
Debut novel about the search for an "astonishing text".
Set in an unnamed foreign country, A WORD FOR LOVE is a debut novel about a young American woman who arrives in search of an “astonishing text”—said to have the power to make all its readers weep.
Instead, she finds herself caught in the lives of her host family and a Romeo & Juliet-like romance that ultimately teaches her about love, loyalty, and herself—and changes her reading of everything.
Emily Robbins lived in Syria from 2005-2008, first as a foreign exchange student, then as a Fulbright Scholar and an intern with UNRWA, the United Nations branch for Palestinian refugees. Since then, she’s worked in Lebanon and Morocco, and taught high school with Teach for America. In 2012, she received her MFA from Washington University in St. Louis, studying with novelist Kathryn Davis.
