Zusammenfassung:"An Iranian girl escapes to America as a child, but her father stays behind. Over the course of twenty years, young Niloo grows from confused immigrant child to over-achieving Westerner to sophisticated European transplant. It's an evolution her father sees only in fragments: four isolated father-daughter reunions spread out over two decades, each in a different international city. The more time that Niloo and her father, Bahman, are apart, the more their lives seem to diverge. At the same time, refugees of all nationalities have been flowing into Europe under troubling conditions. Wanting to help, but also looking for a lost sense of home, Niloo finds herself quickly entranced by a world that is at once everything she has missed and nothing she has ever known. Refuge charts the deeply moving lifetime relationship between a father and daughter, seen through the prism of global immigration. Beautifully written, full of insight, charm, and humor, the novel subtly exposes the parts of ourselves that get left behind in the wake of diaspora and ultimately asks: Must home always be a physical place, or can we find it in another person?"
