Publisher's Synopsis
As Bibi-Gul takes a pill to get to sleep, she thinks about how little her family knows about her. But the pill does not work, and she finds herself stuck in a strange place. When she sees she cannot escape, she strives to find out where she is, and how long she will remain there. She is keen to figure out her life . . .
Later we will meet others, Adela and Shirin, whom she doesn't know or understand how they are connected to her. But who are they really? Are they all one person, parts of her, or are they you? And who is she?
Bibi-Gul is defined by her refugee status. When she says, "I have a refugee feeling," what does she mean? Is she lost or found?
Through these pages you will see how she feels about being pitied, tired, bored, disappointed, and hateful, and you will see how war touches everyone . . .
Let's see where we each are in this journey, and where it is best to wake up. When many see a long and strange shadow approaching, they try to find its source instantly.
