This book left me stunned. Breathtaking in its scope and generosity . . . a luminous and compassionate reckoning with borders and boundaries. And all of this written in achingly beautiful prose that catches the light in even the darkest of moments. We are in the midst of a rare and transcendent talent, and how lucky we are that Lars Horn exists. -- Maaza Mengiste * author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted The Shadow King * Rapturous . . .
