rating an anthology is always difficult, but these stories were (form a literary perspective) excellently written. as for content, these stories were heartbreaking, and shine an important light on the uk's migration policies. i highly recommend keeping up with refugeetales.org, who do great work

The style fluctuates from chapter to chapter depending on the storyteller and the person it is being told to. Therefore the structure is radically different. However this is not a book about structure. Each story is important, relevant and manages to give a new perspective on the situations. The chapters I personally found most engaging were The Lorry Drivers Tale and The Unaccompanied Minors Tale.

‘This is a tale of where humanity hides. In prisoners’ wails, in a lawyer’s tear, in a pilot’s view of the world. In a women’s view of God in a child. Who took him in, embraced and gave him new life. Someone to take care of him and fight for his rights. Someone to finally show that while we’re content to send them to death. There are some amongst us who harbour life.’
