The poignant legend of Venus and Adonis is the backdrop to the story of Red Anemone. Set in Lebanon in 1935, the story moves between the historic coastal town of Byblos and Afka, the source of the River Adonis, high in the mountains. It was here that the goddess succumbed to the love of the beautiful hunter and where he died in her arms.
Themes of love, murder and reincarnation mingle to powerful effect. The novel is an unforgettable portrait of a society and individuals caught between the ancient past and modern times, tradition and change.
