A Game for Swallows by Zeina Abirached is a historical fiction graphic novel about Lebanon's civil war.

What makes this book stand out from other graphic novels is the feeling that Zeina puts into the book, which makes you really feel the characters' emotions.

The narrator tells the story from the point of view of someone who very well could have existed and lived at that time in that place. In the book, it tells the story of two children who are waiting for their parents with the neighbours in a time of bombing.

I like the character Anhala the most because she is very nice, hard-working, kind and a great cook. And I really can feel sympathy for her because I know her history.

In conclusion, it is really worth reading because it makes you feel like you are in a war and that is a very unique experience.
