Sally Hayden's Recommended Books on refugees trying to reach Europe
Guest
"Today, the world is divided between those who can easily travel and those who cannot, separated by the simple luck of where they happened to be born."
These books appeared as part of a fantastic piece (quoted above) which Sally did for Electric Lit. You can read it HERE and we've picked out those books available in the UK.
Sally will be joining us for an event in the shop on April 28th, to discuss her incredibly powerful book My Fourth Time, We Drowned. Tickets are available HERE.
