pickThanks for this recommendation @RachelO - a really interesting perspective on the refugee experience for #refugeeweek.
I agree with you though, Nujeen did come across very immature for her age and, dare I say it, a little self-absorbed. However, I guess that‘s a product of her upbringing and the way she was treated by her family and society. It was still an amazing journey that they undertook.⬇️

squirrelbrain I‘m also going to be a little bit naughty and use this for #northmacedonia for #readingeurope2020. They did cross the country but, as Nasreen herself said, it only took them 2 hours in real life so it‘s only a tiny part of the book but they still went! My only other option for this country is a huuuge intense chunkster so.... 😁 @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle 5y
rockpools That was quick! And yay for crossing off North Macedonia. What‘s the chunkster, so I can stack it 😉? And yes, she‘d definitely grown up very protected - I felt quite stressed for her sister at times. 5y
squirrelbrain Ha! You‘d love the chunkster - it‘s got very small writing too! I‘d have been interested to see a bit more of her sisters POV actually. And yes, it was a bit quick. I‘m getting a bit ‘skimmy‘ at the moment - it happens sometimes, particularly with NF and I‘ve read a lot of that recently.... need to calm down and enjoy! 5y

rockpools @squirrelbrain Small print - my favourite! A definite must-read 🤪. I sympathise with the speed-reading, in a totally opposite kind of way - I just start everything very slowly and finish nothing 🙄. 5y
BarbaraBB Well done!! 5y
Librarybelle Works for me! 5y
