Genuinely one of the best books I have read this year. It's powerful and brilliant, raw and angry, poignant and starkly beautiful. The author's realism and compassion irradiates his writing.
The plight of the people of Eritrea and the dedication of the aid workers who battle against the odds to help them is profoundly moving but when two native male nurses become migrants attempting the perilous journey to the west it lends the narrative a tidal flow that is impossible to resist.
This is a compelling and complex exposé. A book that demands we start paying attention to the migrants arriving on our shores. It's compassionate and engrossing.

This is a really beautiful story set in a backdrop of an area/conflict that I haven't read much about in the past. I enjoyed this and will recommend to others!
Thank you, NetGalley, and the publisher for access to this e-ARC.
