A vital contribution to the Black British literary canon' Afua Hirsch`Fresh and important' Guardian`An exceptional book' Sally Hayden`Wonderful' Financial Times`An extraordinary story' Nish KumarWhen Aamna Mohdin travelled to Calais to report on the refugee crisis, she was confronted by a reality she had been outrunning for two decades: that she had been a child refugee herself.   Determined to piece her scattered family history together, Mohdin set off on a mission. Her journey would see her cross the world: from the rooftops of Mogadishu to a reunion with a long-lost friend in Amsterdam to Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya.   Scattered is a powerful investigation into the aftershocks of displacement, written by a young woman uniquely placed to explore the refugee experience. But it is also a story of homecoming in many forms - and a defiant celebration of family and love.   `In a moment where refugees are rarely heard from, her voice breaks through' Gary Younge`Mohdin explores her Somali family's refugee experience across continents in her wonderful book' Financial Times\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55897814172021,"sku":"9781526652584","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781526652584.jpg?v=1757003913","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781526652584","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
