Description

Aamna Mohdin's memoir is an exceptional exploration of family, displacement, and identity. In 2015, she travelled to Calais to report from the frontlines of the refugee crisis, only to discover that her own parents had been refugees of the Somali civil war. This revelation sparked a journey of self-discovery as Aamna delved into her family's past, tracing their flight from Somalia to Kenya and the Kakuma refugee camp. Through her story, Mohdin sheds light on the human cost of displacement and the complexities of belonging. With unflinching honesty, she recounts her parents' experiences in a refugee camp, their struggles to rebuild their lives in the UK, and the ways in which their past continues to shape their present. This powerful memoir is a testament to the enduring impact of trauma and the resilience of the human spirit.
