Expertly depicting the anxiety and excitement that accompanies a new life, Hashimi s gripping page-turner is perfect for book clubs. Library Journal (starred review)
Mahmoud s passion for his wife, Fereiba, a schoolteacher, is greater than any love she s ever known. But their happy, middle-class world implodes when their country is engulfed in war and the Taliban rises to power.
When Mahmoud becomes a target of the new fundamentalist regime and is murdered, Fereiba is forced to flee Kabul with their three children. Finding a way to her reach her sister s family in England is her one hope to survive. With forged papers and help from kind strangers they meet along the way, Fereiba manages to smuggle the children as far as Greece. But in a busy market square, their fate takes a frightening turn when her teenage son, Saleem, becomes separated from the rest of the family.
Faced with an impossible choice, Fereiba pushes on with her daughter and baby, while Saleem falls into the shadowy underground network of undocumented Afghans who haunt the streets of Europe s capitals. Across the continent Fereiba and Saleem struggle to reunite, exhausted but undefeated, and ultimately find a place where they can be a family again.
