3 quotes from The Return by Hisham Matar

"We are all like ghosts, haunted by the things we have lost and the places we can no longer return to."
"Memory is a strange thing; it can resurrect the past and make it feel alive, even when it’s shrouded in silence and absence."
"Home is not just a place; it is a sense of belonging, a thread that connects us to our roots and to those we have loved."

Author : Hisham Matar

Hisham Matar is a critically acclaimed author born in New York City, where his father represented Libya at the United Nations. At the age of three, his family returned to Tripoli, but their lives were dramatically altered in 1979 when they fled to Egypt due to political persecution under the Ghaddafi regime. Matar and his brother completed their education in Cairo before relocating to London, where he earned a degree in architecture. The disappearance of his father, a political dissident kidnapped in Cairo in 1990, profoundly shaped Matar's work and themes. His literary journey began with poetry and theatre, culminating in his debut novel, *In the Country of Men,* published in 2006 to critical acclaim and commercial success.
