THE book moved me. It impacted upon me unlike any other book I have read the last year or so. It is a riveting story of an Afghan boy sent away by his mother to a faraway land. It was a journey through eight countries that took him almost a year.
The Lightless Sky: An Afghan Refugee Boy’s Journey of Escape to A New Life by Gulwali Passarlay and Nadene Ghouri is exceptional in many ways. It is both a tear-jerker and a harrowing tale of survival and triumph over adversity. I have read many books on people trying to escape civil wars and conflicts, but this one is simply in a class of its own.
