SEA PRAYER BY KHALED HOSSEINI
I have now read all the books of Khalid Hosseini, all of them being evocative tales.
Sea prayer is a poetic letter from a father to his son. An illustrated book that portrays the crisis faced by refugees and the two-year-old Syrian boy Alan who died by drowning along with his mother and brother, as they were refugees trying to reach Europe from Turkey.
I would like to share a few very lines, which I thought were very touching:
These are only words. 
A father’s tricks. 
It slays your father, 
your faith in him. 
Because all I can think tonight is 
how deep the sea, 
and how vast, how indifferent. 
How powerless I am to protect you from it.
