Kiss The Dust

Kurdish girl's harrowing journey to refugee life.

If you're someone who's drawn to stories that delve into the struggles and resilience of people caught in geopolitical conflicts, "Kiss the Dust" could resonate deeply with you. Through Tara's eyes, the book offers a raw and empathetic look at the refugee experience, a journey that transforms a familiar homeland into foreign territory and explores the ensuing challenge of adapting to a new life in England. It's a compelling read that could broaden your perspective on the complexities faced by refugees.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
