Chapter 13 Summary

Nuri wakes up lying on the beach, the day after walking into the water. People help him and he is taken to hospital in an ambulance. After three days there, he wakes up again. The Moroccan man visits him. A doctor tells him he has Post-Traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), advises counselling, and then discharges him. The Moroccan man takes Nuri home.

In the B&B he finds Afra outside in the garden and she tells him she can see light and some color. Afra accuses Nuri of forgetting Mustafa and the bees. She asks what is wrong and Nuri asks why she has Mohammed’s marble. Afra denies Mohammed exists. She says she let Mustafa believe in him because she thought he needed to. She asks Nuri if he remembers the day she took the marble, when the men destroyed everything in their house. Nuri goes upstairs and falls asleep. He dreams that he is in Aleppo, following Mohammed to the river. Mohammed becomes Sami. The boy is playing with Lego, imagining houses that do not break, and asking if Allah will save them when they have to cross the water.
