Publisher's Synopsis
Alpha Coulibaly is emblematic of the refugee crisis today - just one of millions on the move, at the mercy of people traffickers, endlessly frustrated, endangered and exploited as he attempts to rejoin his family, already in Europe. With a visa, Alpha's journey would take a matter of hours; without one, he is adrift for 18 months. Along the way he meets an unforgettable cast of characters, each one giving another human face to the crisis.
