The Arrival has become one of the most critically acclaimed books of recent years, a wordless masterpiece that describes a world beyond any familiar time or place.
Chosen by our Guest Editor June 2020, Martin Brown; "A beautiful and relevant book about trying to find safety in a new place and a new life. It’s a stunning creation full of hope and imagination - and with no words whatsoever."
