All The Lives She Lived by Nathalie Abi-Ezzi

Birmingham. Baghdad. Beirut. How far must you go to escape your past?

She left everything behind―even her name. But secrets don’t stay buried.

It’s 1917. Doris lives a comfortable life with her grandparents in suburban Birmingham, told she is alone in the world. But something doesn’t add up. When she discovers her parents―and six siblings―are alive just streets away, everything she believes unravels.

Who is she? And why was she given away?

Desperate for answers, Doris reinvents herself and flees England, chasing a new life in Baghdad, then Beirut. But no matter how far she runs, the past is never far behind.
