Description

A powerful and poignant novel set against the backdrop of Aleppo's early days of civil war. Faysal Khartash's 'Roundabout of Death' offers a heart-wrenching portrayal of a city in disintegration, where ancient history and modern conflict collide. Through the eyes of its protagonist, Jumaa, we experience the brutal realities of life under siege: the destruction of neighbourhoods, the random violence, and the complex web of militias and security forces vying for control. This is a story of survival, of community, and of the human cost of war. Khartash's masterful prose distills the tragedy of this period into a kaleidoscopic narrative that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
