Description
The Arsonists' City A Novel by Hala Alyan is a rich and powerful family story that explores the legacy of war in the Middle East. Against the backdrop of a city smoldering with conflict, this novel delves into the secrets and lies that bind a family together. A Syrian mother, a Lebanese father, and three American children have lived lives of migration, always holding onto their ancestral home in Beirut as a constant touchstone. But when the family patriarch decides to sell their beloved house, it sets off a chain reaction of events that exposes long-held secrets and deep-set shame. As tensions rise and the fragile ties between family members are tested, this novel shows us the enduring power of love and the human spirit. With wisdom, warmth, and remarkable insight into the human condition, Hala Alyan crafts a story that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.
