As a young man disappears, his family is left fearing for what may have become of him. Seeking a new life and release from her sorrow, Aneesa, his sister, leaves her home and moves to London. Yet Aneesa finds she cannot get on with her life without some certainty. Meanwhile, back home, Aneesa's mother is grieving for her son and seeks solace in the company of a young boy, convinced he is her son reincarnated. Aneesa reluctantly returns home, determined to uncover the truth behind her brother's disappearance, and rekindle the sense of belonging that she left behind.

Review:

Praise for ‘Dreams of Water’:

‘The beauty of this novel lies in its images which are vivid and strange, sometimes even fantastical...There is comfort in reading about characters, all of whom are withdrawn and inhibited, yet who are shown as capable of great tenderness.’
Times Literary Supplement

‘A slow-burning, powerful story of loss and grief’
Good Housekeeping

'Twenty years ago, when civil war broke out in Lebanon, Nada Awar Jarrar was forced to flee with her family. Her novel Dreams of Water recasts this experience in a tale about a family whose son goes missing in war-ravaged Beirut'
Vogue

‘This beautifully written book is powerfully evocative of the human cost of war and the longing for love, that despite the shooting and shelling, never fades.’
Economist
