No Friend but the Mountains: Writing from Manus Prison by Behrouz Boochani

5.0

Incredibly powerful, harrowing, heartbreaking.

In beautiful and vivid prose (written in Farsi via thousands of text messages and translated into English by Omid Tofighian), Behrouz Boochani details the horrors of his and his fellow asylum seekers' imprisonment on Manus Island. A very difficult book, but one I believe every Australian should read. This is done in our name.
