*Ports of Call* is a haunting and lyrical tale of love defying boundaries. Amin Maalouf traces the journey of Ossyane, a Levantine man whose life is torn between East and West, between passion and ideology. From Beirut to Istanbul, Marseille to Jerusalem, his love for a Jewish woman in a time of turmoil becomes a symbol of impossible coexistence.
A poetic meditation on identity, exile, and the bittersweet longing for reconciliation.
