"I do believe in a few years we'll be proud to say we went through this very difficult time, and we've come out a Greece that is a different type...

Mohamed got across the border from Somalia by paying someone to hide him inside the back of a truck. "I'm not happy with it, but since...
...population, by clusters of unprotected women on the streets, and half-burned houses. Later, she passes the harrowed battlefield of Leipzig—scene of the biggest battle in Europe before World War I—where human skeletons are still strewn on the charred ground among scraps of leather and smashed muskets. And into this chronological narrative of life on the road, O’Brien skillfully weaves a series of telling anecdotes from Louisa Catherine Adams’s experience as a wife, mother, and American expatriate in Europe...
