Quite an interesting book following the Mediterranean migrant crisis from colonialism to the present day. I read the English translation and the writing tended to be flowery when speaking on horrible circumstances. The book has numerous instances of Orientalist imagery too.
You could read novels written by survivors of the migrant crisis for a better picture. However, Mazzantini has an authorial right to be able to write this novel.
⭐2.75/5 ⭐
