'Our government jailed his body, but his soul remained that of a free man.' - Richard Flanagan

In 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani was illegally and indefinitely detained on Manus Island. This book is the result.

Written on a smuggled mobile phone and translated from Farsi, No Friend but the Mountains is a voice of witness, an act of survival. A lyric first-hand account. A cry of resistance. A vivid portrait through six years of incarceration and exile that - against all the odds - became an award-winning national bestseller.
