No Place of Refuge by Ausma Zehanat Khan
5.0
This is the best of the series so far.
With 70+ million people displaced by conflict worldwide, some of the worlds most vulnerable people are languishing in camps and detention centres for years. Many are unaccompanied minors who have been separated from their families. This is an incredibly compassionate and insightful novel personalising the “refugee issue” through the stories of four young people who have fled Syria and made the incredibly dangerous journey to Lesvos. From my time spent in humanitarian organisations and with asylum seekers, these stories ring true. Highly recommended.
