A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Solito is my travel
book of the year.' Telegraph 'Heartbreaking… A rare,
eye-opening rendition of the brutal reality of border-crossing.'
Lea Ypi ‘If there’s any justice, Solito will someday be
considered a classic.’ Rumaan Alam Young Javier dreams of eating
orange sherbet ice cream with his parents in the United States. For
this to happen, he must embark on a three-thousand-mile journey
alone. It should last only two weeks. But it takes seven. In limbo,
Javier learns what people will do to survive – and what they will
forfeit to save someone else. This is a memoir of perilous boat
trips, relentless desert treks, and pointed guns. But it is also a
story of tasting tacos for the first time, of who passes you their
water jug in the crippling heat, and of longing to be in your
mother’s arms.
