About the novel

Nadia Hashmi delivers a heart-wrenching human epic about family, survival, and the search for safety. The story begins in Afghanistan, where Fariba and her family's lives are turned upside down by political turmoil, forcing them to flee on a perilous journey across Europe as refugees. The novel highlights the suffering faced by migrants and the impossible decisions a mother must make to protect her children, with a narrative style that blends stark realism with an unwavering hope that persists even in the darkest of circumstances.
