In the merciless heat of the day, a young Kurdish woman flees the shame she has brought upon her family – and the brutal punishment that has ensued. Fearing pursuit, she crosses the expanse of Syria and almost without intention finds her way to the border and the temporary haven of a refugee camp. There, she rests, and the product of her punishment is born. A son, who she names Elend, the new light of day.But that is only the start. A new life calls and she moves on. Europe engulfs her with its vast extremes. The mountains and wide plains, the sprawling and hostile cities. The small kindnesses and sharp taunts of the people she meets; the compassion and indifference and disdain.Until, like dawn out of darkness, comes hope at last, and love.She is Zarrin. This is her journey.Walk with her.
