N obody wants to be rags of countries like Congo, like Somalia, like Iraq, li ke Sudan, like Haiti and not even this one we live in - who wants to be a t errible place of hunger and things falling apart?' Darling and her friends live in a shanty called Paradise, which of course i s no such thing. It isn't all bad, though. There's mischief and adventure, games of Find bin Laden, stealing guavas, singing Lady Gaga at the tops of their voices. They dream of the paradises of America, Dubai, Europe, where Madonna and Barack Obama and David Beckham live. For Darling, that dream will come true.
