'Captivating …There's a breadth of humanity
in An Unsafe Haven which is very moving. I loved the sense of Lebanon
and of what is unique and precious about the Arab world' Helen Dunmore
Set
in contemporary Beirut, a rich, illuminating and deeply moving novel
about a group of friends whose lives are shaped and affected daily by
the war in Syria.
Imagine trying to live a normal life in a world which changes daily and where nothing is certain …
Hannah
has deep roots in Beirut, the city of her birth and of her family. Her
American husband, Peter, has certainty only in her. They thought that
they were used to the upheavals in Lebanon, but as the war in
neighbouring Syria enters its fifth year, the region’s increasingly
fragile state begins to impact on their lives in wholly different ways.
An
incident in a busy street brings them into direct contact with a Syrian
refugee and her son. As they work to reunite Fatima with her family,
her story forces Hannah to face the crisis of the expanding refugee
camps, and to question the very future of her homeland.
And when
their close friend Anas, an artist, arrives to open his exhibition,
shocking news from his home in Damascus raises uncomfortable questions
about his loyalty to his family and his country.
Heartrending and
beautifully written, An Unsafe Haven is a universal story of people
whose lives are tested and transformed, as they wrestle with the anguish
of war, displacement and loss, but also with the vital need for hope.
