Very inspiring book that tells Yusras special story and really makes you understand her view - the cruelty of the war and how hard it was to flee as well as the difficulties of arriving in Germany and all the media attention. Its a shocking, moving and also fascinating story. Im so glad she uses her voice for the important message.
However, I think it could be a more political message since due to the media attention on her case, she would have (had) the opportunity to criticize migration and border policy. Also it might not be everyones favorite writing style (rather reporting like) but it seems and feels very honest to me which I appreciated and I think this is very valuable. I think many should read it and I would still definitely recommend it!
