TEUTA METRA

'On the Other Side by Teuta Metra follows not only Rita’s physical journey from her home country of Albania to London but also her emotional journey as she learns about love, loss, and betrayal.'

'I loved how this story was told on so many different levels, the harshness of Rita’s life, and the courage and ingenuity she shows in the face of adversity.'

'One of the most enjoyable books I've read in a long time. There is a place for every feeling along the pages, love, hate, birth, death, poverty, hope, desire, ugliness, and beauty. The details of the places, cultural particles, and words and idioms specific to that country in each situation are very exquisite. Highly recommended.'

'I found On the Other Side to be an engrossing examination of what makes a person risk life and limb to travel illegally across Europe and reach UK shores. The narrative burns with a moral urgency during this time of Brexit and increased border controls.'

- Anthony J. Quinn, author of Turncoat
