When Aamna Mohdin travelled to Calais to report from the frontlines of 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, Mohdin set off on a mission. On her journey, she would not only confront the devastating legacy of displacement, but grapple with her own identity: as a Somalian; as a refugee; and as a Black British woman.

Scattered is a staggering investigation into the costs and consequences of displacement, written by a young woman uniquely placed to explore the refugee experience. But it is also an epic journey of returns and reunions, of facing the past and reckoning with trauma; and a defiant and joyful celebration of family.
