The Echo of Sand (First Series: Novel)

This award-winning novel is the story of twin brothers separated during the Lebanese civil war, and their journeys home. As the novel begins, a truck bomb has destroyed the U.S. Marine barracks at Beirut International Airport.

Spanning two decades and unfolding simultaneously in Beirut and Brooklyn, The Echo of Sand is a brave and honest novel about resilience and reconciliation.
