That Side of the Sea
About This Novel
The civil war in Syria forced 16-year-old Duya and her family to leave their southern town and flee to Egypt. After staying in Egypt for two and a half years, Duya saw no future for herself. Although she heard news of the deaths of stowaways at sea from time to time, she and her fiancé were willing to take great risks to sneak to Europe. They contacted the smuggler, evaded the search by the police on the beach, and successfully took a stowaway boat. Unexpectedly, the ship was attacked at sea, and hundreds of refugees fell into the sea. In the blink of an eye, only more than a hundred people were left struggling to survive. Drifting on the sea, Du Ya watched with her own eyes as her fiancé and the refugees around her gave up and sank to the bottom of the sea one by one. After four days and four nights of grief, Duya finally waited for rescue while holding the two children she had entrusted to her on her deathbed... This book is based on real events.
