Threads: From the Refugee Crisis by Kate Evans

challenging emotional informative sad

4.0

I read this book in one sitting for an english lit class, not because I had to but because I simply couldn’t put it down due to all the feels I got whilst reading. It is a devastating account of the conditions in the Calais and Dunkirk refugee camps. It is also a collection of stories from these camps as well as Evans’ own story as a volunteer. The story is quite metaphor-heavy but not in a bad way. I’ve also seen a lot of people disliking Evans’ artstyle but I personally thought that her rather rough style of drawing goes really well with the subject matter and brings the story alive. I think Threads is a must read for anyone looking for an introduction to the horrible situation at Calais.
