Synopsis
“Goodbye my children! When you leave, don't look back…”
With these last words from their mother, two little girls, Marguerite and her older sister, will begin a long wandering that will last two years. Equipped with a new identity, they must cut themselves off from everything that constitutes their familiar universe. Led from farms to convents, they learn to keep quiet, to pretend, to lie, to adapt and above all to keep hope, against all odds. The story that Marguerite Élias Quddus gives us takes one to the centre of it and lets us glimpse history through the eyes of a very young child.
Preface by Elizabeth Lasserre and Naomi Azrieli.
