A sweeping tale of life and death, set in the Syrian capital at the turn of the twentieth century, from the internationally acclaimed author of Death is Hard Work and In Praise of Hatred. A soulful and perfectly unsentimental writer. Hisham Matar. December 1907: One morning after a night of drunken carousing in the city, Hanna and his friend Zakariya return home to their village near Aleppo, only to discover a scene of tragedy. A devastating flood has levelled their homes, shops, and places of worship, and their neighbours, families, and children are nearly all dead. Their lives will never be the same. Tracing Hanna's life before and after the flood, when he embarks on a search for the meaning of life, No One Prayed Over Their Graves is a portrait of a wider society on the verge of great change; from the provincial village to the burgeoning modernity of the city, where Christians, Muslims, and Jews live and work together, united in their love for Aleppo and their dreams for the future. Translated from the Arabic by Leri Price.
