A moving and sensitive children's book exploring a child's experience
living in refugee accommodation in Ireland.
Azari's life has been split in two and the halves are as different as
lemons and mangoes. Running links the two parts of her life: sometimes
when she runs it is because she wants to, because she feels strong and
free. But sometimes it is because she has no other choice.
When Azari and her mother flee for their lives to Ireland they are put
in a centre for asylum seekers. They must
share a room with a stranger, eat food they don't know the name of and
answer intrusive questions from authorities. Azari's life has secrets.
Will she ever be able to stop running?
