Description
Reviews
"In vivid glimpses, Cell #77 reflects our time of ordinary people fleeing oppression, risking death to cross water and other borders to seek safety. Demir's lyrical fiction is led by a poetic eye, rooted in his Sufi training, keeping a vision that is wise and kind even in anger and grief."--Gillian Parrish, Author
