On fragile waves : a novel / E. Lily Yu.
Firuzeh and her brother Nour are children of fire, born in an Afghanistan fractured by war. When their parents decide to leave, they spin fairy tales of their destination, the mythical land and opportunities of Australia. When they arrive in Australia, what seemed like a stable shore gives way to treacherous currents. Neighbours, classmates, and the government seek their own ends, indifferent to the family's fate. For Firuzeh, her fantasy worlds provide some relief, but as her family and home splinter, she must surface from these imaginings and find a new way.
