Stitched together from a wealth of letters Alex Gibeily wrote to
his children at the height of Lebanon's civil war in the 1970s and
1980s, this beautifully crafted story provides an insight into the
pathos and fears of separation caused by the unfolding drama of
war, with its many parallels to current bloody conflicts across the
world. These typewritten letters are reproduced faithfully and are
interwoven with original hand-drawn illustrations by his youngest
grandchild, Kyra Gibeily, born more than a decade after Alex's
death. Shedding light on the perspective of a father desperate for
his children to lead a better life far from the horrors of
conflict, this story is as timeless as it is timely.
