  House of Stone by Anthony Shadid

  Price: £14.99    Add to Basket

  In spring 2011, Anthony Shadid was one of four New York Times reporters captured in Libya, handcuffed and beaten, as that country was seized by revolution. When he was freed, he did not return to Boston, but to his great-grandfather's estate in southern Lebanon, a house that, three years earlier, he had begun to rebuild. In this poignant and resonant memoir, Shadid tells the story of a battle-scarred home and his own jostled spirit, and of how reconstructing the one came to fortify the other. A mosaic of past and present, and a memorialization of a lost world.
