The Grieving Eye: A Compendium of Love and Loss

What does it mean to lose a father and then a country?
Lena Atoug’s memoir is the story of a carefree childhood doubly fractured – first by a father’s death, then by war. It charts her journey as a migrant through a world of new languages and customs, navigating adolescence, loneliness and lack of belonging.
Told with lyrical honesty and grace, this is a poignant meditation on identity, survival, trauma, memory – and the search for home, wherever it may be found.
