Discussion, Reading, Q&A
Aziz has walked countless steps and crossed border after border, always accompanied by his memories. The journey from Afghanistan to Italy is long, and the people he meets are unpredictable. Mattia lives in northern Italy, worries about his grades, and his efforts to impress Sofia – until a surprising conversation with his mother turns his world upside down. In the middle of the night, Aziz and Mattia meet. The novel tells a vivid and empathetic story of losing one’s home but not one’s hope.
