From the multi-award-winning author of Twice Born comes this dazzling, emotionally charged tale of two mothers fight to protect their childrens futures‘Narrated in sparse and sensuous prose… important [and] timely’ 9/10
* Press Association *‘Mazzantini’s lyrical novel puts a human face on migration and displacement’
-- Booklist‘This intense work of fiction focuses on the human spirit in times of ultimate uncertainty while navigating the rough waters of exile, political turmoil and two families who are struggling to find what is “home.” By using the sea as a tool to distance people yet bring them together, Mazzantini reveals how the Italian and Libyan states in chaos influence family life and survival.’
'Mazzantini explores displacement and the effect of political chaos on individual lives in this extremely brief but intense story of Libyans seeking refuge in Italy and Italians seeking their lost past in Libya ... A tragedy for our time.’
* Kirkus Reviews *‘Broken destinies, textures, colours and smells – a universe of sensations criss-crossed by powerful, often heart-breaking, images.’
-- Le Points
‘One of Mazzantini’s best books. A turning point.’

-- Livres Hebdo

-- Le Monde des Livre
'A small book about a great catastrophe, a document of our time.'
