Madina' s family have fled war to seek asylum in Europe and begin a hopeful new life. An ordinary world of fitting in at school, learning the language and forging friendships lies before Madina. Yet she finds herself caught between her new life and her traumatic memories of the past. With the endless wait to be granted asylum, and her anxious father growing ever more controlling, can Madina find the path that' s right for her? Translated by Claire Storey
"Spare and powerful, Julya Rabinowich writes a refugee story about arriving - with an antiwar message. Not only is the simple yet powerful language remarkable, Rabinowich also writes convincingly complex and ambivalent characters" * Die Zeit * "An impressive novel that vividly illuminates the conflict among children and young people who are torn between two cultures and who have to find a new home. A moving story about friendship, migration and growing up in times of war and emigration" * Radio Deutschlandfunk * "Rabinowich gives her young heroine a strong and poetic voice. Her experiences could not have been described in a more exciting and haunting way" * Radio Bremen * "Madina becomes a voice for everyone who has to build a new life abroad" * Neue Zurcher Zeitung * "Julya Rabinowich is particularly convincing with her fictionalization; no trace of a well-intentioned refugee story, just skilfully sparse impressions from the first sentence. The style is concise yet warm . . . Rabinowich portrays the self-discovery of an adolescent respectfully and sensitively" * Neue Zurcher Zeitung *
