About this book

Homs once seemed like a quiet city held inside glass, its private dreams crossed by the rebellious Orontes. War shatters that enclosure and sends its ‘butterflies’ towards flame. Eitab Shabib moves through the city’s neighbourhoods gathering stories: a final basil plant, a priest’s bicycle, looted bookshops, a bloodied pair of glasses and messages written across cemetery walls. The novel preserves small acts of love and memory against the scale of urban destruction.
