The Arsonist’s City
by Hala Alyan
Discussion led by Corinne Kevorkian

One family’s tale becomes the story of a nation. A Syrian mother, a Lebanese father, and three American children: all have lived a life of migration. They’ve always had their ancestral home in Beirut as a constant touchstone, but a family patriarch decides to sell. That man’s decision brings the family to Beirut in a fight to save the house. Their own secrets ignite in a city smoldering with the legacy of war, refugees, religious tension, and political protest.
