When he was freed, he went home. Not to Boston or Beirut--where he lives-- or to Oklahoma City, where his Lebanese-American family had settled and where he was raised. Instead, he returned to his great-grandfather's estate, a house that, over three years earlier, Shadid had begun to rebuild. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eHouse of Stone\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a battle-scarred home and a war correspondent's jostled spirit, and of how reconstructing the one came to fortify the other. In this poignant and resonant memoir, the author of the award-winning \u003ci\u003eNight Draws Near \u003c\/i\u003ecreates a mosaic of past and present, tracing the house's renewal alongside his family's flight from Lebanon and resettlement in America. In the process, Shadid memorializes a lost world, documents the shifting Middle East, and provides profound insights into this volatile landscape. \u003ci\u003eHouse of Stone\u003c\/i\u003e is an unforgettable meditation on war, exile, rebirth, and the universal yearning for home.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"House of Stone: A Memoir of Home, Family, and a Lost Middle East | Anthony Shadid | Hardcover | 9780547134666 | Used: Like New | Memoir 1612363","offer_id":48700862922904,"sku":"1612363","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"House of Stone: A Memoir of Home, Family, and a Lost Middle East | Anthony Shadid | Hardcover | 9780547134666 | Used: Very Good | Memoir 1662766 (temp: 6)","offer_id":48917894398104,"sku":"1662766","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81ZLdVCQvNL.jpg?v=1773772192","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/house-of-stone-a-memoir-of-home-family-and-a-lost-middle-east","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
