Sea Prayer by Hosseini
I must say that I cried many a tear when I read this beautiful short story. The story makes us privy to the inner thoughts of a Syrian father who holds his sleeping toddler in his arms. They await silently at night, on a Mediterranean shore, for the flimsy boat that is to take them on a clandestine journey to Europe. The father ponders on the infinite value of his beloved son's life while realising in horror that all he loves will soon be at the mercy of the thoughtless waves. His mind falls back to pleasant memories of safer times, which help him to allay his fears; memories that end up transforming themselves in a prayer for God to allow his son to reach the other shore safe and sound.
