At the height of the Lebanese Civil War, Rola and Paul, two young teachers, were madly in love with each other and were due to marry soon. But the girl’s parents and the circumstances of the war decided otherwise: Rola found herself in Canada as the wife of a rich Canadian–Lebanese man. Twenty-two years later, the story of the couple bounces back in a completely unexpected way. At the university where he is a teacher, Paul meets an exceptional student who seems to resent him. He investigates to find out his true identity, but something dramatic comes up and interrupts his research…

Born in Lebanon in 1951, George Damien has taught French for nearly forty-five years at all levels: primary, complementary, secondary, and at university.

Author of several articles on metaphor, Mallarmé, Baudelaire, comparative rhetoric, etc., he has also written a series of language books for primary school students. During the last years of his career, he was the principal of a Lebanese private school.

    Like an Image is a deeply moving and beautifully written novel that captures the heartbreak of love interrupted by war, and the lingering echoes of the past. Set against the backdrop of the Lebanese Civil War, the story of Rola and Paul is both intimate and epic, blending romance, mystery, and historical tragedy. The emotional depth of the characters, especially as the story unfolds two decades later, adds a layer of suspense and poignancy that keeps the reader hooked. A powerful reflection on lost love, identity, and the long shadows cast by conflict—this book is as haunting as it is unforgettable.
