House Of Stone: A Memoir of Home, Family, and a Lost Middle East

House of Stone is a poignant memoir that delves into the story of a journalist's wounded spirit and the rebuilding of his family's ancestral estate in Lebanon, following the Israeli invasion in 2006.

Through this bittersweet tale, Shadid creates a mosaic of past and present, tracing the house's renewal alongside the history of his family's flight from Lebanon and resettlement in America around the turn of the twentieth century.

This memoir provides profound insights into a shifting Middle East and serves as a testament to the enduring power of family, home, and history.

With an afterword by Nada Bakri, Anthony Shadid's wife, reflecting on his legacy, House of Stone is a breathtaking and deeply moving read that will stand the test of time.
