Over the mountains and across the sea

A touching story of two young refugees from Afghanistan. Every spring, the nomads pass through Soraya's village on their way to their summer camp in the Afghan mountains. Among them is Tarek, who knows how to tell the most wonderful stories. But this year, Soraya waits in vain for him. As the seventh daughter, she was raised as a boy according to an old custom, allowing her to move freely and attend school. However, at fourteen, she has reached the age where she should have long been living as a girl, in the silence of the house. The Taliban are unambiguously pressing for this. Tarek has also been threatened. They expect the experienced tracker to work for them. Tarek and Soraya see no other way out: independently, they set off into the unknown. In the mountains, they unexpectedly encounter each other. A gripping novel about flight and the desire for freedom.
