About this book

Written during Odai Al Zoubi’s years in Europe, Playing Stones gathers stories shaped by Syrian exile and the uneasy search for meaning on foreign ground. Its characters carry private losses, interrupted lives and memories that resist becoming a simple homeland narrative. Quietly reflective rather than declarative, the collection asks what storytelling can preserve when return is uncertain and how displaced people build moments of calm inside a shared, unsettled fate.
