| Review Quote | An ingenious choose-your-own-adventure challenge… Questions such as: “Where am I going?”… “Which choice will make my life worthwhile?” feel existential and urgent… Who can travel, and on what conditions, is one of the primary human rights questions of our era, and The Wandering skilfully takes it on. |
| Other text | With its choose-your-own adventure structure, The Wandering is fiction at its most lifelike, presenting the reader with choices and inevitable misgivings… It is also fiction at its most untethered, where readers can hurl themselves across time zones, selves and situations, free of risk, danger or discrimination. |
