No One Prayed Over Their Graves is a sweeping tale of life and death in Aleppo, Syria, told through the story of two friends whose lives are altered by a devastating flood that hits their village in 1907.

The novel follows Hanna's transformation from a wealthy libertine to an ascetic mystic obsessed with death and the meaning of life, as he navigates friendships, loves, and lusts, family, and business before and after the flood.

With a rich tapestry of Aleppo's society at the turn of the 20th century, Khaled Khalifa weaves a powerful portrait of a people on the verge of great change.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in historical fiction, magical realism, or simply great storytelling.
