The Return: Fathers, Sons and the Land In Between – Hisham Matar
A moving and beautifully written memoir about family, memory, and the enduring pull of home.
📖 Overview:
In The Return, Hisham Matar reflects on his journey back to Libya after more than two decades away. As a young man, his father was taken and imprisoned, leaving behind a silence that would shape Matar’s life and work. When political change finally allows him to return, he embarks on a profound exploration of identity, loss, and the meaning of belonging.
