De drar først opp i den kurdiske fjelllandsbyen hvor faren kommer fra, og får et innblikk i kulturforskjellerkurderne imellom. Så må de rømme over fjellet til Iran og bo i flyktningeleir, for tilslutt å måtte flykte til et helt annet land, England.Alt er beskrevet på en realistisk måte. En meget aktuell bok som sier mye omhvordan det er å være flyktning, at det ikke er noe man ønsker å måtte reisefra hjemlandet og egen kultur. En viktig og godt skrevet bok.
