Description
December 1907 marks a turning point in the life of Hanna and his friend Zakariya. A night of revelry ends with a devastating discovery: their village, once thriving near Aleppo, has been ravaged by flood, leaving death and destruction in its wake. As they struggle to come to terms with this tragedy, Hanna sets out on a journey to find meaning in a world torn apart. The story that unfolds is one of loss, resilience, and the search for hope in a society on the cusp of great change. From the provincial village to the bustling city, where Christians, Muslims, and Jews coexist, Hanna's quest takes him through the complexities of human experience. Translated from the Arabic by Leri Price, this powerful tale offers a poignant portrait of a time and place that continues to resonate today. With its soulful and unsentimental prose, No One Prayed Over Their Graves is a moving exploration of life, death, and the human condition.
