Unregistered Lives
Ayhan Gorgulu
Ezma never imagined she'd flee her homeland with only the clothes on her back and three children in tow. With her husband, Avzer, already in France and war devouring Syria inch by inch, she clings to the only thing left - hope. Forced to live with distant relatives, endure the bombs, the fear and the screams - each day heavier than the last. Crossing borders illegally into Turkey, Ezma does whatever she must to survive: housekeeping, factory shifts, kitchen work, scraping together enough to feed her children and move forward. But at every turn, she loses a part of herself. A child. Her safety. Her dignity.
And yet, she walks on.
Unregistered Lives by Ayhan Gorgulu is a haunting journey of a mother's endurance through war, exploitation and unimaginable grief.
But did Ezma ever reach Avzer? Or did her dream dissolve somewhere between the mountains and the sea?
