This is a beautiful and poignant novel about a couple who escape from war torn Syria in the hope of finding asylum in the UK. The story is told in the first person by Nuri, who with his wife Afra undertakes a shocking journey.
There is no holds barred with this novel- and there should not be.
Personally for me apart from hearing about people being crammed onto boats and risking their lives- I had no idea of the plight of these unfortuate human beings (some people forget that part) and the author has created characters who are real and realatable as the reader embarks on this journey with them.
Highly recommended.
