Description
In 1988, Somalia waits for change. Whispers of revolution spread through the dry winds, but the dictatorship remains secure. Against this backdrop, three women's lives become intertwined. Nine-year-old Deqo has left her refugee camp in search of a new life, driven by the promise of her first pair of shoes. Kawsar, a solitary widow, is trapped in her little house with its desert garden, confined to her bed after a brutal attack at the local police station. Meanwhile, Filsan, a young female soldier, has moved from Mogadishu to suppress the growing rebellion in the north. As Somalia unravels into civil war, the fates of these three women are forever changed. This is an intimate and powerful account of ordinary lives lived in extraordinary times, marked by beauty, fierce love, and the unbreakable human spirit.
