| Abstract
|
:
|
This novel opens with Dhurgham, 12, waiting for his family at the Great Mosque in Damascus. They had escaped from Iraq together, and his parents told him that if they became separated, they should meet up at the mosque. When they fail to show up, the boy begins a harrowing journey as he tries to build a new life for himself. He spends several years in a relentlessly bleak refugee detention camp in the Australian desert.
