"the sudden violent dispossession accompanying a refugee flight is much more than the loss of a permanent home and a traditional occupation, or than the parting from close friends and familiar places.

“How late is it? How long have we been sitting here? I look at my watch â€“ three thirty and the day is almost ending. Itâ€™s October. All those kids recently returned to classrooms with new bags and pencil cases will be looking forward to half term already. How quickly it goes. Halloween soon, then firework night. Christmas.

All I know is that I have two choices â€“ stay wrapped in blankets and get on with dying, or get the list back together and get on with living.”
