While they wait, their stories unfold: Kacem Judi is an escapee from the civil war in Algeria; Nuara, with her newborn child, hopes to find her husband, who hasn’t been in touch for months since moving to France; and Aziz, the young narrator, and his cousin Reda are severed, in different ways, from their families in southern Morocco. They all share a longing to escape and a readiness to risk everything. Welcome to Paradise delves into a world that most readers know only from stories on the nightly news, delivering a compassionate and striking portrait of human desperation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tin House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45116194684981,"sku":"ByrdShop_1935639277","price":59.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781935639275_e437a07e-30ce-4057-a2d9-0497686ed0ac.jpg?v=1779905312","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/welcome-to-paradise-9781935639275","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
