School of War by Alexandre Najjar
Alexandre Najjar was eight when Lebanon erupted into a bloody and brutal conflict; he was 23 when the guns at last fell silent. After seven years of voluntary exile, he is now back amongst his family and friends, and the past is quickly catching up with him. This novel offers insights into the experience of childhood in war.
'A marvellously affecting memoir of the war in Lebanon: perfectly pitched and intensely evocative, and all the more powerful from being seen through the eyes of a child' William Boyd 'Delicate and unforgettable.' Elle 'One of the most talented francophone writers of his generation.' Le Monde
