A review by emmanovella
Alpha. Abidjan to Gare du Nord by Bessora
5.0
wow.
The story within this book is so incredible and important. The art, in my opinion, let this book down. It wasn't my sort of style and I didn't enjoy looking at it. However, whilst normally I would incorporate the art into my rating, the story this book tells is far too important and powerful for me to be petty about my personal art style preference.
I've read and watched news reports on refuge crisis', I've seen the images of people dead on beaches. I know, as well as someone with privilege can, how impossible there lives are and how much trauma and pain they go through yet every time I pick up a book like this my heart breaks a little more.
I don't think I'll ever be desensitised to the sheer inhumanity of this world when it comes to the way we treat our fellow human beings.
