About This Book

The narrative follows Jamile and Omar, whose forbidden love arises amid Lebanon's cedar forests and long-standing communal divisions; the prose alternates broad regional history and landscape description with a concentrated personal tale that covers courtship, wedding festivities beneath the cedars, a bride's abduction, family deliberations and legal judgment, and the lovers' tragic consequences. Themes include sectarian enmity, honor and shame, the weight of tradition against individual desire, and the ways memory and local custom shape grief and storytelling.
