Prayer for the Family

Renée Hayek

Prayer for the Family

Renée Hayek, presents a distinctly succinct narrative that intricately portrays the difficulties and deprivation of a Lebanese family in their struggle as they are forced to relocate their lives. The unbalancing effects of the Lebanese Civil War are reflected through the story by the suffering and despair that the family must weather. Hayek employs a narrative style with subdued rhythms to render highly dramatic events.
