This beautifully illustrated book takes the reader through the years and world’s conflicts from 1918 to the present in Kasmir, Cyprus, Somalia, Haiti…..

Each date has its own stunning double page spread and small poem portraying that time. These pages are lush with watercolours, pastel, and pencil strokes, showing goodbyes, letters read, pain, patience and homecomings.

Sobering and simply gorgeous.
