Synopsis

In "Nightmares of Beirut," Ghada Al-Samman plunges readers into the heart of Lebanon's capital at the explosive dawn of its civil war. The novel captures the pervasive atmosphere of gunpowder and corruption, where political and financial deceit intertwines with moral decay. It follows ordinary individuals navigating their daily lives amidst the chaos, indifferent to the fate of their nation as fires consume a city once alive with the rhythm of conflict.
