Flying Towards a Secret Sky: One Young Immigrant’s Journey from Kabul to Britain

Even in the darkest times, the sky offers endless possibilities.

In this memoir, Samadali Muradi tells the story of a journey from Kabul to Britain, and the search for a safer, fairer life.

After losing his father at just six years old, Sam went to work in a public bath house in Kabul. Growing up as a Hazara in Afghanistan, he faced persecution and began to dream of reaching Western Europe. Following the Russian invasion, he set out as a medical student on a journey marked by hunger, exploitation, abduction and danger.

Flying Towards a Secret Sky offers a personal account of survival, displacement and hope, sharing what it means to flee danger and poverty and build a new life in the UK.
