Reception
Reviews
It was named Book of the Year by The Independent and 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]

gollark: It's pointless to say "I don't like this! Let's do it better" without any idea of what that would mean.
gollark: And ones which require some retroactive change like "let's all have become better at hygiene and gotten masks for everyone" or something obviously can't actually work.
gollark: If you have a better idea I'm sure someone will listen.
gollark: I mean, the UK initially went for an "ignore it and hope it goes away" sort of approach based on flawed modelling for flu, but then changed their strategy to the lockdown/social distancing one when updated models suggested this was a bad idea.
gollark: Like what? I'm pretty sure there has been thought about this.
