Rami has forgotten the second part of his life: that of exile. Euphrates will then tell what he knows, with the hope of unlocking long-held secrets. A quest that will plunge him into a tumultuous family odyssey, from Paris to Fallujah. A moving tribute to the love between father and son that bridges time and space, this unforgettable first novel explores the complexities of the immigrant dream, and how we live with the family and country into which we were born"--mehr
