Sachs deftly explores themes of trauma, loss, and forgiveness. All Else Failed is a compelling and emotionally resonant read that will leave a lasting impression.

Thanks to Footnote Press and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy!

It feels jarring to call this book a triumph when it covers such a harrowing subject, but it is truly brilliant storytelling.

Documenting the story of the migrant aid crisis centred around Greece in 2015, this book weaves the storylines of seven individuals/families together from all corners of the world. It is expansive and impressive in its scope; extensively researched and places both the refugees and volunteers (of which some are both) at the centre of this story. As expected, it is both heart-breaking and inspiring, and the ease of reading is a testament to the quality of the writing. Would recommend to everyone.

Amazing, eye opening account which everyone should read.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my review.
