'Judah paints another Europe with tense and dramatic detail' -
Andrey Kurkov 'Will make you lurch between fascination, laughter
and tears' - Sophy Roberts _____ What does it now mean to call
yourself European? Who makes up this population of some 750
million, sprawled from Ireland to Ukraine, from Sweden to Turkey?
Who has always called it home, and who has newly arrived from
elsewhere? Who are the people who drive our long-distance lorries,
steward our criss-crossing planes, lovingly craft our legacy wines,
fish our depleted waters, and risk life itself in search of safety
and a new start? In a series of vivid, ambitious, darkly visceral
but always empathetic portraits of other people’s lives,
journalist Ben Judah invites us to meet them. Drawn from hours of
painstaking interviews, these vital stories reveal a frenetic and
vibrant continent which has been transformed by diversity,
migration, the internet, climate change, Covid, war and the quest
for freedom. Laid dramatically bare, it may not always be a Europe
we recognize – but this is Europe. _____ Praise for Ben Judah’s
