Vonk is an anthropology student interested in the life of migrants / refugees traveling through Mexico. Early on he meets Axel, who‘s got a complicated and unique story. They form a bond and traverse the dangers of cartels, immigration officers, and police together. This is a gripping true story with multiple caveats.

Christine Tempting review! Curious about the caveats… 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Christine So … Volk states right up front that most people in the caravans lie to protect themselves. The caveat is that you‘ll never know for sure that anyone‘s story is completely truthful. Even some parts of Volk‘s. But it‘s more about protection from harm than trying to “enhance” the narrative. Take a peak at my full review if you want to know more. 3y
