I feel that this is a really important book that raises difficult issues that are happening today. I would recommend this book as necessary reading material for all.

This book tells the story of Nuri and Afra, a married couple from Aleppo who decide to make the difficult journey to Europe. It details their journey as refugees and how despite having left the dangerous situation in Syria, their journey is also incredibly difficult, if not more so. They face a number of difficult challenges when they leave Syria and it is really moving to follow them on their journey as they overcome the difficulties they face.

One of the more difficult things about this book is that despite the difficulties that Nuri and Afra face, they can in fact be considered the lucky ones, as they have money to help them. Many others are not so 'lucky'. This is an incredibly moving story of the challenges facing many refugees, beautifully portrayed by Christy Lefteri.
