The Shape of What Remains

This novel is a haunting, literary chronicle of a city and its people under siege. From the simmering tensions of early 2023 to the collapse of daily life in Gaza, it follows residents as they navigate displacement, scarcity, and the moral weight of survival. Told through an omniscient voice and a tapestry of symbolic, reflective vignettes, it captures children tracing dust, families sharing whispered messages, and neighbors rehearsing gestures of care amid rubble. With a focus on memory, human dignity, and ethical attention it illuminates the endurance of life and hope under the relentless pressures of history with a vision of resilience, loss, and the fragile beauty of survival.
