Description

Butterfly is the inspiring memoir by Yusra Mardini, recounting how she fled war-torn Syria, survived a dangerous sea crossing, and pursued her dream of Olympic swimming. After leaving Damascus in 2015, she and her sister Sara guided passengers to safety during a perilous dinghy voyage, while their engine failed. Yusra's journey took her from Europe to Berlin and ultimately to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo. Her story is the basis for the Netflix film The Swimmers, and the paperback edition includes an updated afterword. This memoir highlights resilience, hope, and the power of never giving up.
