Threads from the refugee crisis, is the first graphic novel ever to be listed for the Orwell Prize for Books. “Gripping and beautiful. This is comics journalism at its finest.” – Alison Bechdel. “Haunting… Again and again, [Evans’s] narrative emphasises the desperation of people trying to reach safety… The appalling threads of these people’s lives coalesce to form a bigger picture with an underlying message: we need to treat our fellow humans with care and respect.” Times Literary Supplement.
