The EKZ has "The Weight of Remorse" by Khalil Sweileh (Translated from Arabic bySuleman Taufiq) reviewed:
The first-person narrator of this novel is a young man in present-day Syria who
between war and daily danger seeks a way to shape his life. In doing so, he hits
to three women who, like him, are trying to live (or survive) in the oppressed country:
a poet, a visual artist and a former political prisoner. She
try to support each other in a world that is out of joint. So
four destinies emerge that reflect the many facets of modern-day Syria - and
at the same time a love story develops. An atmospherically dense and poetic
novel, highly recommended.- Helga Winkelmann
