À propos de cet audio

In 2010, the al Rabeeah family left their home in Iraq in hope of a safer life. They moved to Homs, in Syria - just before the Syrian civil war broke out.

Abu Bakr, one of eight children, was 10 years old when the violence began on the streets around him: car bombings, attacks on his mosque and school, firebombs late at night. Homes tells of the strange juxtapositions of growing up in a war zone: horrific, unimaginable events punctuated by normalcy - soccer, cousins, video games, friends.

Homes is the remarkable true story of how a young boy emerged from a war zone - and found safety in Canada - with a passion for sharing his story and telling the world what is truly happening in Syria. As told to her by Abu Bakr al Rabeeah, writer Winnie Yeung has crafted a heartbreaking, hopeful, and urgently necessary book that provides a window into understanding Syria.

I listened to this in almost one “sitting”. What an education. We in the first world, as a rule, have little concept of the story behind the news. This book helps to mitigate that. Hats off to Abu Bakr family and friends.

A moving diary from a young boy in Syria in the last few years and his escape from Iraq to Syria as the war followed and eventually as a refugee to Canada.

I was captivated by the immediacy of Abu Bakr's description of his 'worlds'. This book is not only about life in a war torn country and the experience of immigrating to Canada but it illustrates the adaptability of human nature, the bonds of family and friends, the courage and fear of living in a place devastated by war, and the adaptability to make wherever home is, normal. This is evidenced by Abu Bakr's 'matter of fact' renditions of horrific events without any drama. The descriptions of how the family and friends interact, illustrates how much everyone has in common in spite of vast differences in circumstances. And above all, Abu Bakr's insight engenders a deep compassion and respect for those who have left their homes and friends and family to find refuge here. Winnie Yeung's commitment and talents helped Abu Bakr make this book a reality. The narration was perfect as well. I highly recommend this title.

Amazing (true) story about a father trying to give his children a normal childhood while a war was going on around them. Hoping to leave the county and the war zone they were in, wondering if they would be able to leave, and maintaining hope throughout. Inspirational in so many ways. I will never forget this amazing book!

Great story of what we Canadians know nothing about. I'm glad we are so open minded in Canada. I'm grateful for his sharing of his story.

Had to listen until the end

Must read. A close family with happy memories and traditions in their country but forced to move because of war.

Good insight to a refugee family.

Abu Bakr's story is truly remarkable. It was so interesting learning about him and his family's life and the struggles they faced while growing up in Syria and moving to Canada. Really gives an understanding of how other parts of the world are living. Definitely worth the read!

Fascinating!
