Reception

Reviews

It was named Book of the Year by

The Independent on Sunday and described as 'a rollercoaster road movie in print where the language twists and turns more than a path through the Pyrenees. Evaristo crosses the border between prose, poetry and film script and exposes the hidden face of black European history in the process.’^[3]
