1 rating1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really excellent journalism & biography & study of the life of Asad Abdullahi, a Somali who moved across the continent of Africa and the risks he took to secure a life for himself and his family. I did not want it to end, but it was so hard to put down. Great read, thought-provoking and fascinating.
