On Fragile Waves: A Novel

"Firuzeh and her little brother, Nour, were born in Afghanistan during the war, but peacetime proves even more dangerous to their small family. With their parents, their Abay and Atay, they embark on the long, cruel journey to Australia with little more than stories of legendary adventurers – and the ghost of a drowned girl – to guide them through unspeakable grief. One of the most devastatingly beautiful books I read all year."
