House 17: A Novel of Memory, Exile, and the Disappeared

House 17Some names were meant to disappear.Others refused.Northern Lebanon, 1988.In a stone house hidden among olive trees, former prisoner Hassan Haddad keeps a promise he made long ago: no one who arrives at House 17 will be forgotten.When a mysterious prison number - 26701/17 - reappears after decades of silence, old wounds begin to open. As children, refugees, survivors, and families of the missing pass through House 17, Hassan and his companions uncover traces of a story that powerful men tried to erase.What begins as a search for one forgotten prisoner becomes something far larger: a battle over memory itself.Set against the final years of the Lebanese Civil War and the shadow of Syrian intelligence networks, House 17 is a sweeping historical novel about exile, identity, family, resistance, and the people who refuse to let the disappeared vanish a second time.Perfect for readers of literary historical fiction, family sagas, Middle Eastern history, and stories of memory, survival, and hope.For those who were told to forget.And for those who remembered anyway.
