A Hand Full of Stars (Eine Hand voller Sterne) is a novel by Syrian-German author Rafik Schami. It was published in 1987, and translated into English in 1990.The story is told in the form of diary entries by the fourteen-year-old narrator, who is never once given a name in the book. He lives in Damaskus with his father, a baker, his mother and his sister Leila. They are part of the Christian minority, but the narrator is not really that interested in religion.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The topic of most of the entries is the school, which he likes going to, his desire to become a poet and/or a journalist, his friends Mahmud and Josef, his love for the neighbor girl Nadia and his friendship with the elderly neighbor Uncle Salim.Eventually, the narrator decides to write a 'Socks newspaper', distributed through cheaply sold socks, which actually tells the truth instead of just writing what the government would like to hear, with a the journalist Habib, who is a mentor to him, and his friend Mahmud. This gets Habib in trouble, and he is arrested, but the narrator, Mahmud and Nadia decide to continue the newspaper anyway. | |

Green-Eyed Monster: The narrator gets jealous quite a few times, describing his friend Josef being too close to Nadia. It seems that Nadia is completely in love with the narrator, however, and she either doesn't realize that Josef is hitting on her or the narrator is just misinterpreting what is going on. | |

Benevolent Conspiracy: Well, sort of. The narrator and his friends Josef and Mahmud decide to form the gang "The Black Hand" to protect the innocent. They end up pinning a vaguely threatening letter to the door of Nadia's father, a known member of the Secret Police, who is actually legitimately scared of it and doesn't realize it's just three teenaged boys. | |
