Scattered: A memoir of three homecomings with Aamna Mohdin

When Aamna Mohdin travelled to Calais to report on the refugee crisis, she was confronted by a reality she had been outrunning for two decades: that she had been a child refugee herself. 

Determined to piece her scattered family history together, Aamna set off on a mission. Her journey would see her cross the world. Scattered is a powerful investigation into the aftershocks of displacement, written by a young woman uniquely placed to explore the refugee experience. But it is also a story of homecoming in many forms - and a defiant celebration of family and love.

Aamna is the Guardian’s award-winning community affairs correspondent. She spent her early years in the Kakuma refugee camp before arriving in the UK aged seven.
