Let Us Cross the Sea is a haunting and deeply human novel that delves into the perilous journeys of migrants seeking refuge in Europe. Spanning the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Sudan, Eritrea, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan-it intertwines tales of war, loss, love, and survival in a world shaped by poverty, terrorism, and Islamophobia.

At its heart are Randa, a Syrian girl who has lost everything to war; Issa, a Sudanese writer crafting a novel within a novel, his life unravelling in Germany as he awaits asylum; and Malida, a British-born Sudanese woman caught between two identities. Their stories, along with those of ruthless smuggling gangs and disillusioned refugees, converge in an intricate tapestry of hope and despair.

With a blend of magical realism and stark reality, Let Us Cross the Sea explores the forces that shape migration-European policies, social exclusion, and racial discrimination-while offering an unflinching look at the human cost of displacement. A powerful and lyrical exploration of our times, this novel places the reader at the heart of a contemporary crisis, where dreams crash against the unforgiving tides of fate.
