It reads like a film—too extraordinary to be true, yet it is. Nujeen is a sixteen-year-old Kurdish girl in a wheelchair. She lived in Aleppo, Syria, but the civil war made the country uninhabitable, forcing her and her sisters to migrate to Germany. Greece, Macedonia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, and Austria—Nujeen crossed them all, her sister pushing her wheelchair, until she reached German soil. With the help of Christina Lamb, Nujeen retraces the years before the Syrian crisis, clarifying how the country became a battlefield. In the second half, she describes her odyssey as a migrant: closed borders and deadly crossings by rubber boat across the Mediterranean. The account is intense and sometimes harrowing, especially when you multiply Nujeen's experience by the millions fleeing as she did. Yet it never tips into victimhood. Instead, hope runs through every page, deeply rooted. Essential reading—both to witness an extraordinary journey and to reckon with the responsibility of those who caused such suffering.
