Beskrivning

Shams is a young Syrian refugee woman who lives in Shatila, one of the world’s oldest refugee camps. She dreams of education and living a better life in Europe. But there are no schools in the camp, and her family opposes her dreams. Mr Tony, a poet running a charity, seems to offer a way out. But the camp appears to be taking on a life of its own, as a malevolent, all-consuming and seductive presence.

Recensioner i media

This restless, spiky novella is told from various points of view that put both the traditions of Shams’ culture on trial and the well-intentioned liberalism of those trying to improve the camp – intriguingly personified here as a grotesque and ravenous life force.
