Solito is my travel book of the year. The Telegraph's Heartbreaking portrayal of the brutal reality of border-crossing is a rare, eye-opening rendition. Lea Ypi's novel is a classic, Rumaan Alam's Young Javier dreams of eating orange sherbet ice cream with his parents in the United States. To achieve this, he must embark on a three-thousand-mile journey alone, which should take only two weeks. However, 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.
