The Pianist of Yarmouk

`In amongst the wreckage scenes of hope. An amazing man – Ahmad played the piano just to spread love` Jeremy Vine, BBC Radio 2 A man, a piano, a Syrian city under siege . . . One morning in war-torn Damascus, a starving man drags a piano into a rubbled street. Everything he once knew has been destroyed by war. Amidst ruin and despair, he begins to play. He plays of love and hope, he plays for his family and his fellow Syrians. He plays even though he could be killed for doing so. As word of his defiance spreads around the world, he becomes a beacon of hope and even resistance. Yet he fears for his wife and children – the more he plays, the more he and his family are endangered until, finally, he must make a terrible choice. . . `An extraordinary, beautiful book about a man who in the midst of utter terror wheeled his piano in to the street and played for Yarmouk. He is amazing` Nihal Arthanayake BBC 5 Live`The music of Aeham Ahmad became a symbol of resistance` Today, BBC Radio 4 `So inspiring` ITV News
