When the Moon is Low

Enlightening and Incredibly Hard to Put Down

What is this book about?

Fereiba is an Afghani woman whose husband was killed in a brutal act of violence by the Taliban. Fearing for the safety of her children, she makes a desperate trek to England where the rest of her family has successfully found asylum. Fereiba's family will meet many challenges along the way.. will they make it to England?

Saleem, Fereiba’s son, feels the need to become the man of the family and protect his mother and siblings from imminent danger. On this dangerous and desperate quest to England, Fereiba’s family begins to run out of funds and options. In an attempt to solve this problem, Saleem separates from his family. Saleem did not know that this separation would be the last time he would see his family for a long, long time..

This book tackles some hot button issues that are prevalent right now. Especially with what is happening in the White House and the Trump administration. I found it absolutely invigorating and intellectually stimulating on many levels. Human trafficking, immigration, and refugee camps are just some of the issues that were the foci of this book. This book shattered my soul. It was brilliant. Nadia Hashimi writes with a deft hand and effortless prose. She is a pediatrician in Washington, D.C. and she is running for congress. This woman is unstoppable! I have already read two of her books, and I am absolutely going to be reading her third. One million percent recommended!

This sounds good!
I read In the Sea There are Crocodiles: Based on the True Story of Enaiatollah Akbari which is a true story of a young Afghani boy separated from his family who must find his way to safety and found it very moving.
