For two years previous, Shadid had worked to reconstruct the house and restore his spirit after both had weathered war. Now the author of the award-winning Night Draws Near tells the story of the house’s re-creation, revealing its mysteries and recovering the lives that have passed through it. Shadid juxtaposes past and present as he traces the house’s renewal along with his family’s flight from Lebanon and resettlement in America. House of Stone is an unforgettable memoir of the world’s most volatile landscape and the universal yearning for home.

There is something about a region torn by conflict for as long as I can remember. Without over-romanticizing people's struggles, there is something heartwarming in reading about their resilience.The book is writer wonderfully. While nothing much happens as such, you just can't stop reading!The narration is also spot on!
