Description
When the Moon Is Low A Novel by Nadia Hashimi tells the powerful story of a family's struggle to survive in the face of war and persecution. In Kabul, a middle-class couple's life is turned upside down when their country falls under the Taliban's rule, leading to devastating consequences for them and their children. As they flee their homeland, Fereiba must use her courage and resourcefulness to keep her family safe, while also navigating the dangers of the underground network of undocumented Afghans in Europe. Against all odds, she holds on to hope, driven by her love for her children and her determination to rebuild a life together. This heart-wrenching novel explores the complexities of war, identity, and family, as Fereiba and her son Saleem fight to reunite and find a new sense of belonging in a foreign land.
