Award-winning memoir about 600 days of involuntary separation. An important contribution to refugee literature in Australia.In 1992 Edita Mujkic fled war-torn Sarajevo with two young children, in a borrowed car, with two bags and fifty American dollars in her pocket. Her husband Goran stayed behind, trapped in an impenetrable siege. After months of waiting for Goran in Croatia, Edita and her children moved to Northern England. Months went by while Goran's every attempt to escape failed. Edita knew she had to help him. But how? What could she do with her broken English, without money and contacts, and two children to look after by herself? Months turned into 600 days of involuntary separation. Australia beckoned.This compelling true story of courage, love and humanity is a reminder of the nightmares that those fleeing conflict endure and of the difference that the simplest acts of kindness make.
