An American widow follows her heart to Lebanon, the land
of her late husband's birth. With her three young sons in
tow, she navigates a colorful, occasionally maddening,
relentlessly breathtaking world.
The past meets the present and the mountains meet the
sea, in a mystical landscape that still resonates with the
spirit of her lost love. Fervently she connects with her
surroundings, drawing solace and joy from the rhythms of
nature and the redemptive rituals of everyday life.
In Snow on the Barbecue, Nancy Chedid recounts the
most memorable adventures of her first year in Lebanon,
whether exploring an ancient cedar forest on snowshoes
or doing battle with an ancient water tank on the roof.
Stirring photographs and an engaging narrative propel
the reader along on this surprising journey. Both armchair
explorers and those who have experienced the country
firsthand will come to view Lebanon with a new sense of
wonder.
