Interesting perspectives on immigration and integration and perceptively written. The ending felt a little rushed and could have been more fulfilling.

What a profound and moving read, this book is going to stick with me a long while.

The Invisible Crowd details the story of Yonas Kelati, an Eritrean refugee who registers a claim for asylum in the UK more than a year after arriving in the country. The chapters flow between different characters involved in Yonas's journey, through fellow Eritreans, other refugees, legal representatives and new friends. Each has much to say, and each is a reflection of society's attitude to this issue; this is emphasised all the more by the true tabloid headlines which introduce each chapter.

A fascinating and memorable read.
