Description
A low, quiet sea becomes the threshold between safety and survival as Farouk—an exhausted doctor from Syria—tries to navigate the collapse of everything he knows. When a stranger’s promise of illegal passage offers a fragile alternative to staying behind, Farouk and his family are pulled into a journey shaped by fear, hope, and the unbearable weight of what has already been lost. Woven through the lives of others are parallel reckonings with belonging, grief, and the long aftermath of displacement, revealing how love and identity persist even when the future is uncertain. Written with a gentle, mesmerizing absorption, this collection brings together intimate human stakes and sweeping emotional truth, exploring what it means to endure when home is no longer a place you can return to.
