The incredible and inspirational true story of one young man's
struggle to find peace during war, and the power of music to bring
hope to a desperate nation. 'Ahmad has created a moving and
visceral account of conflict, hope and the power of music' Hannah
Beckerman,Observer ____________ One morning in war-torn Damascus, a
starving man drags a piano into a rubbled street. Everything he
once knew has been destroyed by war. Amidst ruin and despair, he
begins to play. He plays of love and hope, he plays for his family
and his fellow Syrians. He plays even though he could be killed for
doing so. As word of his defiance spreads around the world, he
becomes a beacon of hope and even resistance. Yet he fears for his
wife and children - the more he plays, the more he and his family
are endangered until, finally, he must make a terrible choice . . .
Aeham Ahmad's spellbinding and uplifting true story tells of the
triumph of love and hope, the incredible bonds of family, and the
healing power of music in even the very darkest of places.
___________ 'In amongst the wreckage scenes of hope. An amazing man
- Ahmad played the piano just to spread love' Jeremy Vine, BBC
Radio 2 'An extraordinary, beautiful book about a man who in the
midst of utter terror wheeled his piano in to the street and played
for Yarmouk. He is amazing' Nihal Arthanayake BBC 5 Live 'The music
of Aeham Ahmad became a symbol of resistance' Today, BBC Radio 4
'So inspiring' ITV News 'Aeham Ahmad is a talented and brave man of
peace. Please read his book and pass it on to anyone who doesn't
know or understand the plight of today's refugees' Stanley Tucci
