This book is a collection of eight short stories formed and crafted in the Calais jungle. They tell stories of immigration from different standpoints and vary from being very good to so-so. However, what they do-even after the jungle has been dismantled-is raise questions about the migrant crisis which we cannot ignore. The stories highlight the fact that this crisis is about individual lives and not indistinguishable, expendable masses. This alone makes it worth reading. 6/10
