This book brought me to tears multiple times. ‘The Crossing’ by Manjeet Mann was an emotional
rollercoaster that I just couldn’t put down. It embedded a sense of reality which made the book
swim to life. Every character stood out, every character had their own story to tell. You felt their
every heartbreak, triumph and failure but you still root for them every step of the way. Through this
book, these characters become actual people trying to cope with life’s struggles. It felt so real. ‘The
Crossing’ is what defines a page turner.-R
A connection of friendship mixed with life-changing news.-N
A gripping book that captures feelings and perspectives from sad lives.
An emotional rollercoaster! If you don’t cry a river I don’t know who you are… A true page turner.-R
