'Poignant and compelling. will resonate with anyone who cares about
justice and the abuse of power' - Lindsey Hilsum, Channel 4 News
International Editor and author of Sandstorm'Essential and urgent'
- Kim Ghattas, journalist and author of Black WaveLebanon and the
wider Middle East is in crisis. For this extraordinary book,
journalist Dalal Mawad conducted a series of searing interviews
with women in Lebanon - weaving an extraordinary story of survival,
corruption and impunity.On August 4 2020, a huge explosion in the
heart of Beirut killed hundreds of people - it was the apocalypse
of a sequence of events that have led to Lebanon's unprecedented
collapse. Award-winning journalist Dalal Mawad was in Lebanon when
the blast happened, and was one of the first journalists to report
on the mysterious and devastating explosion.During her reporting,
she discovered something else - that it is the women who stay
behind, and it is through their stories that the history of the
Middle East must be re-constructed. She set out to record the
stories of those she met, the women long discriminated against, and
those whose stories are untold. She spoke to mothers who lost their
children, spouses who lost their partners, refugee women who have
fled from the war in Syria - and who now find themselves in another
failing state. We hear from the Lebanese grandmother, bankrupted by
the small nation's collapse, who remembers Beirut's glory days of
the 1960s - when the likes of Brigitte Bardot and Miles Davis came
to Beirut. And then the women like Dalal herself, who have left
their home behind.The women in this book all experienced the
explosion and suffered unimaginable loss and tragedy, but it is not
just this one event that brings them together. Their personal
stories converged to tell the story of a nation whose glory days
are long gone, now riven by protracted violence, lurching from
crisis to crisis, and fighting to survive. It tells not only of
what these women have lost, but also what Lebanon has lost, and a
part of the Middle East that is no more.
