This acclaimed novel is set during the Lebanese Civil War and
offers a rare depiction of women's experiences amid this sprawling,
region-defining conflict. In Alawiya Sobh's hands, the details of
everyday life mix with female voices from across classes, sects,
and generations to create an indelible picture of a climate where
violence and war are the overt outbreak of a simmering tension that
underlies the life in the region. Here, stories struggle to survive
the erasure of war and rescue the sweetness of living, trying to
connect the tellers and their audience while transforming pain and
love into abiding, sustaining art. Rendered sensitively into
English through a close collaboration between author and
translator, Maryam offers an unforgettable picture of conflict and
its costs.
