Description
In this profound and deeply personal memoir, Hisham Matar embarks on a journey to his homeland, Libya, a place he has long been estranged from. Driven by an enduring quest for answers, he seeks the truth behind his father's mysterious disappearance years earlier, a victim of the Gaddafi regime. Matar navigates the complex landscape of memory, identity, and political upheaval, weaving a narrative that is both a gripping investigation and a moving exploration of family bonds and the enduring power of hope.
