Description
No Friend but the Mountains: The True Story of an Illegally Imprisoned Refugee
This powerful account of one man's six-year detention in Australia sheds light on the experiences of refugees and asylum seekers. Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani was illegally imprisoned on Manus Island after seeking asylum, where he spent nearly five years typing out his story from a secret mobile phone.
Compiled from passages typed over time, this book is a vivid and gripping portrait of life in detention, as well as the circumstances that led to Boochani's imprisonment. A brave act of witness, it shines a devastating light on the fates of those affected by border closures around the world.
