"The Nasr family - a Syrian mother, a Lebanese father, and three American children - is spread across the globe. Still, they've always had their ancestral home in Beirut. But following his father's recent death, Idris, the family's new patriarch, has decided to sell. They convene in Beirut, united against Idris in a fight for the hours. They all have secrets - lost loves, bitter jealousies, abandoned passions, deep-set shame - that distance has helped smother. But in a city smoldering with the legacy of war, the changing landscape of refugees, religious tension, and political protest, their secrets ignite, imperiling the fragile ties that hold this family together." -- Back cover |
