A Game for Swallows: To Die, To Leave, To Return (Expanded Edition)

In this expanded edition of A Game for Swallows, Lerner Publishing Group brings back Zeina Abirached's acclaimed graphic memoir of her childhood in war-torn Beirut. Through a child’s eyes, the book captures the claustrophobic intimacy of a Beirut apartment building during the 1980s Lebanese Civil War, where neighbors become family and daily survival is a game of waiting. Abirached’s stark, elegant black-and-white art and her focus on small, human moments make this a quietly powerful testament to resilience and memory.
