Nujeen

Journalist and foreign affairs correspondent Christina Lamb is known to readers as the co-author of the world-famous book I Am Malala. After her previous book, which was high on the New York Times bestseller list, the writer once again tells the story of a heroic young woman. She follows the fate of Nujeen Mustafa, a sixteen-year-old girl with limited mobility due to a serious illness, who fled war-torn Syria in a dramatic adventure, confined to a wheelchair. Nujeen almost gives us a lesson in courage, perseverance and faith. By recounting her ordeal, the writer wants to confront people living in prosperity and peace with the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of our time, the Syrian refugee crisis. Fleeing the hell of war, the young girl undertook a arduous journey with her family in the hope of a new life. In sixteen months, by sea and road, by boat and bus, he reached Turkey, then Greece, also passing through Hungary, and finally Germany. Nujeen and Christina send a message: no one can remain indifferent.
