«'Powerful and original ... If much of the book's emotional power is channelled through its coverage of daily life in 2020, its analytical force is found in the broader themes it considers'»
Spectator
«'It is rare to capture the moment when it first occurs, in real time, with these seemingly humble details that describe the instant in all its depth'»
Alexandra Schwartzbrod, Libération
«'A short narrative that strikes straight at the heart'»
Gaëtane Morin, Le Parisien
«'The author's home town is falling apart. Lebanon's capital [...] morphed into a symbol of devastation and hatred and madness. Majdalani is a survivor who still finds in himself the elegance to smile and hope'»
Amin Maalouf, Prix Goncourt winner
