She dreams of traveling to Europe and studying music at the Conservatoire de Paris but her family, and her society, hold her back. When she meets the son of a Cuban tobacco farmer at a formal dance, love transforms her life. Together with him, she flees across the Pacific Ocean. She's hoping for a new beginning. Instead, she finds revolution and chaos. More than fifty years later, N�am Rahil is a teenage refugee from Aleppo, Syria. A former piano prodigy who struggles to thrive in America - and who has lost part of his hand in the war - he dreams of a simple, normal life. Moving from Aleppo on the brink of civil war, to Lebanon in the late 1940s, to Havana during the Cuban Revolution, to the suburbs of Washington, DC, The Refugee Ocean grapples with what it means to be an immigrant, shows how wounds can heal, and highlights the role of music and art in the resilience of the human spirit." -- Dust jacket. 941 $a 9 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20240613010650.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20240417030640.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20240207010551.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012641.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231202010358.0 952 $l VBPC034 $d 20231109010813.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231107011039.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231102013635.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20231102011130.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=232881F2794511EEAB8C8A0C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
