Beschrijving

The book revolves around three main characters from three different eras: early Nazi Germany, 1990s Cuba, and a civil war-torn Syria. It follows Josef Landau, a German Jew in the 1930s, who tries to leave Germany to Cuba, Isabel Fernandez, a Cuban girl in 1994, who tries to escape Cuba's hunger crisis following the dissolution of the Soviet Union to the US, and Mahmoud Bishara, a Syrian youth in 2015 whose house gets destroyed by a missile and whose family decides to seek asylum in Germany. It has received positive reviews, which praised its style and historical accuracy.

Holy Guacamole!!! This one made me cry too. I understand why everyone raves about this book now!"When I was a young man, I was a policeman," Lito said. "There was a ship - a ship full of Jews, from Europe. And we sent them back. I sent them back! Sent them back to die when we could so easily have taken them in! It was all politics, but they were people. Real people. I met them. I knew them by name" pg. 276"Lito was wrong. She didn't have to be in Havana to hear it. To feel it. She had brought Cuba with her to Miami" pg. 308"He was filled with sadness for the boy his age. The boy who had died so Ruthie could live. But Mahmoud was also filled with gratitude. Josef had died so Ruthie could live, and one day welcome Mahmoud and his family into her house" pg. 316
