Until the War Lays Down Its Burdens

About this book

One woman searches for the infant she lost when war erupted without warning. Another pursues vengeance for a murdered brother; a third is trapped without knowing how to escape. A young woman faces death after a bomb explodes, while another mother commits an unthinkable act against her children. Aya Ghabbour draws these lives together in a tense narrative where some seek peace and others justice, and every choice is shaped by conflict.
