A wonderful read to close out the year. This anthology is a thoughtful exploration of borders through a variety of lenses - forced migration, politics, physical distance, and loss to name just a few. Each writer brings their own perspective and voice to these pieces, leading to a beautiful amalgamation of experiences, views, and writing styles. This was a gift to read and I am happy to have it on my shelf.
As a reader who also has a background in migration studies, I think the audience for this is vast - from uni students to curious people looking to sink into a wonderful mix of literary pieces for a while.
One of my favorite snippets by Sundus Hassan-Nooli is below.
"Often you look up and lock eyes with toy soldiers.
And you never know who's more sinful."
5 stars!
