'Barakat isn't writing about 'the immigrant'. She's writing about
the human.' Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind
Shortlisted for the Saif Ghobash Banipal Prize for Arabic
Translation * Longlisted for the DUBLIN Literary Award, 2022 Winner
of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction, a devastating story
of displacement, war, and the unlikely glimmer of hope in the dark
In an unnamed country torn apart by war, six strangers are
compelled to share their darkest secrets. Taking pen to paper, each
attempts to put in writing what they can't bring themselves to say
to the person they love - mother, father, brother, lost love. Their
words form a chain of dark confessions, none of which reaches the
intended recipient. But their consequences will ripple through
other lives, affecting strangers in ways the writers could never
have anticipated... Luminous and haunting, Voices of the Lost tells
the moving story of characters living on the periphery, battling
displacement, poverty, and the demons within themselves. From one
of today's most talented Arabic writers, this is the story of lives
intimately woven together in a society that is tearing itself
apart. 'Hoda Barakat is one of Lebanon's greatest gifts to
literature' Amy Bloom, author of White Houses
