In the cities of milk and snow, the doors to great questions are opened: What happens when the state becomes a guardian of love, identity, and even motherhood? A novel that brings you face to face with institutions modern in appearance, authoritarian in essence, snatching children in the name of care, and reshaping destinies just as files are re-archived in a cold drawer. From a warm homeland like Bahrain, to a burning country like Syria, then to the frost of Sweden, Lulwa tells her story... the story of a mother fighting for her children, and a human being who goes through the fire until the end. A novel that breaks molds and places the full experience in your hands, so that your conscience may judge above all else.
