CHICAGO: From celebrated author Jabbour Douaihy — whose novels pay homage to the vibrance, diversity and extraordinary landscape and culture Lebanon is known for — comes “Firefly.” It is a story that dives into northern Lebanon and explores sectarian tensions that eventually led to the Lebanese Civil War. Newly translated into English by Paula Haydar and Nadine Sinno, readers follow Nizam Al-Alami, a young boy who has grown up among Muslim and Christian communities in Tripoli and Hawra.
