Description

When war and the rise of the Taliban shatter Fereiba’s secure life in Kabul, she is forced to flee with her children and embark on a perilous journey toward England. As they navigate borders, forged documents, crowded cities, and the dangers faced by undocumented refugees, the family is torn apart when Fereiba’s teenage son, Saleem, disappears. Their separate struggles across Europe become a powerful story of survival, courage, and a mother’s enduring hope for reunion. Against a backdrop of displacement and political upheaval, the novel explores family, resilience, sacrifice, and the human cost of seeking safety.
