A House Without Walls by Elizabeth Laird
The moving story of a family's fight to reunite after their lives are torn apart by war in Syria, from Elizabeth Laird, award-winning author of A Little Piece of Ground and Welcome to Nowhere.
[H]umane and empathetic. . Not only eye-opening, important and topical, but a vivid, emotionally involving, nail-biting read . . .an effective call to action. -- Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times Book of the Week on Welcome to Nowhere
A muscular, moving, thought-provoking book from an award-winning writer -- Guardian on Welcome to Nowhere
Not only does it explain how the war in Syria began in as clear a way as I have ever heard but [Elizabeth Laird] makes her characters lovable, loathable - and believable. They are children of war but not defined by it . . . fascinating and sing[s] with truth. -- Alex O'Connell, The Times Book of the Week on Welcome to Nowhere
I read this book in one greedy sitting, soaking up the characters I met along the way and really feeling the protagonist of Safiya come alive on the pages before me. Highly recommended * ReadingZone *
