Framed by a journalist's encounter with an elderly English missionary in war-torn Lebanon during the 1980s, the novel reaches back to the 1930s to follow Tareq, a gifted young magician whose travels through towns and villages unfold alongside the growing Arab Revolt against British colonial rule. As occupation tightens and resistance grows, Soraya Antonius captures the beauty, complexity, and everyday rhythms of a society on the brink of irreversible change. Rich in atmosphere and deeply humane, \u003cem data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"799\"\u003eThe Lord\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful story of memory, colonialism, loss, and the enduring ties between people and place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"5ufj0k\" data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"918\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"1382\"\u003eSoraya Antonius is a Palestinian-Canadian writer, translator, and scholar born in Jerusalem.
