• Summary:

  Etenesh lands on the coast of Lampedusa almost two years after leaving Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She carries with her the memory of a hellish journey, undertaken in the hope of a better future.

  “They told us to go up, we went up, they told us to go down, we went down. We just knew we were scared.”
  Etenesh

  She traveled through Sudan, the Sahara desert, ended up in the hands of human traffickers and in a prison in Libya, she crossed the Mediterranean Sea in a dinghy thinking, every meter, that everything would be in vain.

  “The story of Etenesh, in these pages, becomes a fresco of the infamy of our world which sacrifices the lives of our fellow men who have the sole fault of being born where they were born to the selfishness of our privileges.”
  from the preface by Moni Ovadia
