520    "In her therapist's waiting room in Damascus, Suleima 
       meets the strange and reticent Nassim and soon the two 
       begin a strained relationship. But when Nassim, a writer, 
       flees Syria for Germany, he gives Suleima the manuscript 
       for his most recent novel, whose protagonist's life bears 
       discomforting similarities to her own. Whose story is it? 
       What is fact and what is fiction? Narrated in alternating 
       chapters by Suleima and the mysterious woman in Nassim's 
       novel, The Frightened Ones is a probing examination of 
       life in Assad's Syria and the devastating effects of 
       oppression on one's sense of identity"--|cProvided by
