THE LOST I

A novel set in modern-day Lebanon

This is stunning writing. It is powerful and emotional, really and truly gripping stuff. It offers a real insight into how people cope in such terrible conditions and what it must be like to have to endure them. The tension is palpable and for that alone the author is to be commended. WN-England
