A minibus going from Damascus to the village of Anabi in the north of Syria is treading the road. There is a corpse in the car, two men and one woman, with silent, sad faces. There is a fierce war outside, which cannot be overrun with victims. Death in war is blind, it does not choose its victims... The brothers and sisters have to overcome numerous checkpoints and impossible situations in order to fulfill their father's last will - to return his remains to the land of their native village, Annabia. This is not just a story of a journey to bury his father's body, but a story about revaluing worldly values and even devalued life force due to death, and since death is hard work for the characters of the novel, this five-day difficult road from Damascus to Annabia is also a way of self-discovery. The author of this novel, the winner of the 2019 American National Book Award literary award for translated literature, Khalid Khalifa, is a very successful contemporary Syrian novelist who has received a number of literary awards before. Often banned in his homeland, he has been shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize for Arabic Fiction twice (in 2008 and 2014), received the Najib Mahfouz Medal for Literature, and has been translated into many languages.
