“This is a rich and compassionate book, its atmosphere of loquats and hydrangeas mixes with ‘uniforms and rough voices’. Its compelling narrative is loaded with intricate detail that informs the story with a quiet wisdom. When border crossing, toeing the line and walking the line is contemplated through the prose of a journalist who understands the rigour and intellect and steel heart that’s necessary in a craft capable of poetry. “
