Hara Hotel by Teresa Thornhill
A first-hand account of a Greek refugee camp - and the stories of the refugees staying there
The intimate, deeply felt account of a volunteer who worked with Syrians during the years they were stranded in Greece, which, unlike so many stories of the refugee crisis, does not shy away from speaking about the forces that tore those refugees from their homes-- Molly Crabapple
Hara Hotel is a vivid first-hand account of Europe's failure to protect the refugees at its borders, and a tale of solidarity that points to how things could be different in future. -- Daniel Trilling, author of Bloody Nasty People
Hara Hotel is an eminently readable first-hand account of a British volunteer who travelled to support Syrian refugees in Greece and then Austria in 2016-17. The author's humanity jumps out on every page. She tells both the very human stories of individual refugees, and through them, the story of the disintegration of Syria that has led them to flee. Strongly recommended! -- Professor Richard Black, Pro-Director (Research & Enterprise), SOAS
Thornhill overlays the wrenching refugee sagas with her personal quest to understand why Syria began its alarming unraveling in 2011. What she learned ... will certainly enlighten casual followers of that nation's bloodshed. A brave, affecting book about a continuing humanitarian crisis. * Kirkus Reviews *
