ISBN: 9780722360095
Through Their Eyes: The Weight of Silence is a profound literary novel about war’s quietest costs, generational trauma, fractured identity, and the fragile humanity that endures when every choice carries consequences.
In a land divided by the shadow of war, two young men search for themselves.
In Gaza, Ahmed, haunted by loss, inherits the weight of his father’s struggle. Burdened by the choice between family and his own conscience, each step he takes threatens to silence the boy he once was.
In Tel Aviv, Yossi is coming of age amid rising conflict, questioning what it means to serve, to love, and to stand against the tide of inherited fear.
Their paths run parallel, almost touching but always divided by conflict. Both must choose what it means to survive, and what it means to remain human.
Through Their Eyes: The Weight of Silence is a profound literary novel about war’s quietest costs, generational trauma, fractured identity, and the fragile humanity that endures when every choice carries consequences.
