For World Refugee Day I chose not to read a memoir, but rather a novel shows why people have been fleeing from conflict in the Horn of Africa for decades. Towards Asmara, Thomas Keneally’s 1989 novel is derived from his trip to Eritrea during its war of independence. anzlitlovers.com/2025/06/21/t...

I’ve read a fair few family history memoirs in my time, and each one is different in its own way, but this one really is unique. It’s a hybrid of family history and Holocaust memoir, of mystery and history… and the desecration of one of the world’s most valued books
