Emily's Hampstead Heath Walking Book Club - June - The Return

In this award-winning memoir, Matar returns to his native Libya after 30 years in exile, searching for the truth behind the disappearance of his father, a political dissident under the Qaddafi regime. Part travelogue, part political history, part family portrait, and part exploration of grief, this intense and lyrical book is ultimately a testament to human resilience.
