Důležitá zpráva o krutosti detenčních center, kterou autorka úplně zabila postojem, že EU může za všechny posraný životy v afrických zemích.

White saviour complex. Desperate refugees address her as angel, God, doctor etc. and she just accepts it beatifically.
I would rather read direct accounts from actual refugees.

Thematically it deserves a five star.
To give voice to so many people in a refugee situation is a necessary and difficult task.
I liked that the author let us see the people's past and their family's situation.
The end was nicely crafted in showing us, what difficulties await the people after the crossing of the Mediterranean Sea.
But: about halfway through the book, I noticed that the many detention centers and the people's stories started to become blurry in my mind and that it was too difficult for me to distinguish the different stories.
I took my time reading about these harrowing accounts and yet, now, thinking about the book, it is all a bit muddled.
What I mean is that I think this book is too long.
The message would clearly came across if the book was 100 pages shorter (though I understand that the author wanted to give voice to many victims and prove how wrong European refugee policies are).
Two more thoughts. I was wondering if MSF are really as good as they are portrayed (which I would be very happy about)
and if the author might be a bit biased toward Christian values, traditions and victims.
