Description
Saba's story is one of courage and resilience in the face of adversity. As a young girl, she arrives in a crowded and often hostile East African refugee camp, where she must carve out a new existence and protect her mute brother Hagos. This powerful novel explores the complexities of identity, love, and survival in a time of conflict, shedding light on the ways in which society can wage war on its own women. Through Saba's journey, the author raises important questions about what it means to be a man, a woman, or an individual when circumstances force the loss of all that makes a home and a future. The result is a deeply human and deeply moving portrait of a woman who finds strength in her vulnerability and love in the darkest of times. This is a remarkable debut from a gifted literary talent, whose stories reach across enforced borders to touch on the universal conflicts of the human heart.
