The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar

The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar

Nour, a young girl newly returned to Syria from New York, is forced to flee as a refugee when war breaks out, and her arduous journey across the Middle East and North Africa runs parallel, chapter by chapter, to a medieval legend about a girl mapmaker who travelled the same route eight centuries earlier.

Joukhadar weaves the two timelines together to argue that displacement, courage and the drive to map an unknown world are not new afflictions of the present refugee crisis but a recurring human story, and Nour's grief for her father and her homeland gains resonance through its historical mirror.

A lyrical debut novel connecting the modern Syrian refugee crisis to a medieval legend.
