Synopsis

A The Guardian best summer book!

"Perfectly done, with so much humor and outrage both, Across the Big Blue Sea says more than most anything I've read about the 'refugee crisis' and how the system is set up to fail, even the best-intentioned and most well-meaning (without shying away from the fact that plenty of people involved are neither)." - Lauren Collins, The New Yorker staff writer

Thousands of people risk crossing the Mediterranean Sea each year. But what happens if they make it to the other side?

In this searingly honest and thought-provoking memoir, leavened with just enough wry humor, Katja Meier shares the hard lessons she discovered while running a refugee home among Tuscany's seemingly idyllic golden hills.
