In a makeshift hospital in a refugee camp on the outskirts of
Beirut, Yunis, an aging Palestinian freedom fighter, lies in a
coma. His spiritual son Dr Khaleel - who has no real medical
qualifications - nurses the older man, refusing to admit that his
hero may never regain consciousness. In an attempt to revive his
patient, Khaleel, begins telling Yunis the stories of their
people's exile in Lebanon. He evokes deserted peasant villages, the
suffering caused by the Lebanese civil war and the refugees' hopes
to return home with a subtle mixture of anger and compassion.
Khaleel also narrates Yunis' own extraordinary life. Interweaving
many true-life tales collected throughout Lebanon and its refugee
camps over the course of seven years, Elias Khoury has created a
monumental and spellbinding saga.
