For everyone who thinks the refugees are the problem, who only read the one-sided version of events in the media or who still think boys are only entitled to education; read this book.
Despite being just brief glimpses into the experiences of these girls, there are more gruesome stories in this book than I ever hope to experience. The resilience and strength of these women, fleeing their homes and building a new life elsewhere is remarkable. It is often overlooked that the people who flee whatever situation are not just looking for 'luck' elsewhere, but also leave a lot behind. Not just their belonings, family and friends, but also a little bit of themselves.
Recommended to all, and despite the experiences being very different to mine, it felt very relatable to someone growing up with mixed heritage.
