"They sent us to war with promises of home. But when we came back, home was gone." In 1973, he fought in the Sinai, believing the war would bring him closer to Palestine. Instead, he returned to Beirut with nothing-not victory, not a homeland, not even the men he fought beside. Now, wandering the city's streets, he searches for pieces of his past. His comrades are missing or dead. Layla, the woman he loved, has moved on. Even the revolution that once gave him purpose is fading. But war is not something you leave behind. It follows you, like an echo in the sea. Set in the aftermath of the Yom Kippur War, Echoes of the Sea is a novel about survivor's guilt, lost causes, and the quiet weight of exile. It is a story of men who return home only to find that the war has followed them there.
