This was an interesting book. Four diverse characters come together in a refugee camp. The characters are so well drawn, warts and all, especially considering the relative brevity of this novel (288 pages). They, and their circumstances, ask so many questions about the world in which we live, who is celebrated, who and how people suffer.
I am reluctant to say too much as I think this is a book best entered into with little insight as to what is to come. Despite the fact that some parts were predictable/obvious the ending packs a punch.
Musty's debut has been on my TBR for so long, after reading this I really must elevate it up the pile!

What a boo, really made me think

This is a powerful and devastating read which will hopefully open a lot of people’s hearts and minds.
After famous singer Barry Knight gets himself in some serious trouble, he decides to go and support a remote refugee camp in order to improve his image and take the attention away from the crime he’s committed. Along the way we will meet a cast of different characters, from children inside the camp who dream of better things, to the head of the charity responsible for providing support to the camp. Each person has their own story and reason for being at the camp, but their stories will all end the same…
Now I’m not going to pretend that there’s much joy to this novel - the reality is there’s no uplifting ending and you have to try and find the moments of lightness along the way however you can. But that’s what makes it such an impactful and important read - it takes the newspaper headlines of refugees and the horrors of their journeys, and gives them a voice. It opens your eyes even more to the tragedy of it all, especially by focusing on children who’ve had to grow up far too soon. It’s a harrowing read, but a crucial one.
The characters are beautifully written, with surprisingly deep, nuanced histories given how short the novel is. I love the way they all slowly move into each other’s lives and everything feels as though it’s building up to a nail biting ending at the camp itself. And whilst I don’t want to spoil anything, the perspective of the story is very unique and only adds to the heartbreaking impact.
For me, reading is all about learning how others live and gaining a new perspective and empathy for lives unlike our own - and this is the perfect example of that. A blistering read.

I read Emma Musty's debut novel The Exile And The Mapmaker last year and absolutely adored it so I was very excited to read The Bones Of Barry Knight and it absolutely didn't disappoint in any way.
A child with a love of wizards and magic, an ageing Rockstar who has had his share of problems and an assortment of other visitors are connected when the refugee camp they are visiting comes under attack.
Years later they share their stories, the experiences that shaped them and their troubles, whilst living in a society that is complacent and often corrupt when facing the world's refugee crisis.
Powerful and insightful, The Bones Of Barry Knight captured my heart. Emma Musty has this amazing way of conveying her passion for helping refugees and how as a society we should all be doing more without sounding preachy or condescending. I really appreciated that this novel looks at white saviourism in greater depth and the impact this has on the recipient of charity and aid.
The storyline itself is original and rather quirky and super engaging with characters that although flawed I felt great empathy for especially Ana.
Accessible and important I would honestly recommend anything Emma writes. Sometimes incredibly sad and reflective, There's so many heartwarming and hopeful moments. I love that Emma makes Refugees the heart of her stories. They deserve to be heard.

Six diverse lives collide in this heart-wrenching novel of war, humanity, identity and the refugee crisis.
With POVs that range from the poorest to the richest, and characters that vary in levels of care and complacency, this story delves into the complexity of conflict, politics, white saviourism and charity, but still manages to retain a narrative that feels personal and devastatingly believable.
The desperate reality of a disconnected world is shown in great detail, but interspersed with scenes of innocence, hope and appreciation that show how resilient people can be. None of the writing is condescending, and it doesn't preach or demand anything of the reader. It simply highlights corrupt systems and reminds us that we can all play a part in creating change and fostering compassion.
This book has such an important message, and I recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about global struggles without feeling hopeless or helpless.
Thank you to @legend_times for my copy in exchange for an honest review. I'll definitely be looking out for Emma Musty's work in the future.

So much of this book feels rushed. None of the characters or plot lines feel adequately developed or scrutinized, and the final bit that tries to make a statement about war and the inequities it creates rings hollow.
From a technical standpoint, I think longer chapters would have been a smarter decision, as they would have afforded the author more room to develop the plotlines of each of the characters woven into the narrative. From a structural standpoint, the use of parallel arcs ends up being a letdown, as the promise of convergence of the character's lives at the refugee camp barely materializes and ends up getting rushed through. From a narrative standpoint, I really enjoyed the voice of Barry and felt that his was the character most capable of transformation (as a protagonist should be, I guess), though most of the other characters and their narrative voices were unremarkable.
Ultimately, for me, it's a book that bites off a bit more than it can chew. Wishing I'd gone with my gut and stopped reading halfway through.

This was a good read but not flawless.
There are many small chapters and many different characters which make it kind of a quick read, but not very deep. There are a few farfetched plot twists like coincidences or other impropabilities that I didn't like and I felt that a couple of characters weren't that much strong and could have been missed.
This would have allowed for more space to get to know other characters and their stories better.
I found the frame story eg the prologue and epilogue a bit weird and weak device, while the way all these characters came together by the end left something to be desired.
What I "liked" was the important issues this book touches on and the way the author tries to narrate the stories of people coming from different paths of life. It was a moving read providing food for thought, although a bit more superficial that expected.
3+/5
Αρκετά καλό βιβλίο, απλά όχι τόσο καλό όσο περίμενα.
Υπάρχουν πολλά μικρά κεφάλαια και διαφορετικές οπτικές γωνίες από πολλούς χαρακτήρες που από μία άποψη το κάνει γρήγορο, αλλά όχι πολύ βαθύ ανάγνωσμα. Σε κάποια σημεία η πλοκή βασίζεται σε απιθανότητες και συμπτώσεις που δεν μου άρεσαν, ενώ κανα-δυο χαρακτήρες θα μπορούσαν να λείπουν και να μείνει χώρος να γνωρίσουμε καλύτερα τους υπόλοιπους κατά τη γνώμη μου.
Ο πρόλογος και ο επίλογος του βιβλίου, το φόντο της ιστορίας δεν μου φάνηκε πολύ εμπνευσμένο ενώ το τέλος και ό τρόπος που κατά κάποιο τρόπο όλοι οι χαρακτήρες συναντιούνται ήταν λίγο ελλιπής.
Αυτό που μου "άρεσε" ήταν η θεματολογία και τα πολύ σημαντικά ζητήματα που προσπαθεί να θίξει η συγγραφέας και ότι βάζει στο βιβλίο ιστορίες ανθρώπων από πολύ διαφορετικές αφετηρίες και διαδρομές στη ζωή.
Ήταν ένα αρκετά συγκινητικό βιβλίο σε κάποια σημεία και προσφέρει τροφή για σκέψη, απλά ήταν πιο επιφανειακό από όσο περίμενα.

An interesting - and somewhat disturbing - novel with a refugee camp in a war-torn Middle Eastern country at its heart. How the smallest things are interlinked, and take on an importance you would never have thought of, how lives and experiences are woven together; and how the threads of life can be severed at any moment. Despite this heavy, hard concept, there is a beauty and whimsy to this beautifully crafted novel that also makes it a delight to read.

Many thanks to A Box of Stories #ABoS for including this in my latest box. However, not a keeper - it's one of those books that you only need to read once for the maximum impact. However, I will be passing it on for more reading pleasure.

I got this book as a present and started reading it on a Saturday morning at the beach. By Sunday night I had finished it, so taken away I was by the plot. The diverse characters were engaging and credible, and I could almost see and hear Barry White having a drink at the end of the bar as if watching a movie.
The moral dilemmas were very relatable and contemporary, sketching a multi layered portrait of the bureaucracy, the superficiality, impotence and resisting hopes regarding life in a refugee camp.
I started by Emma Musty's second book and now I can't wait to being The Exile and the Mapmaker!

A book with subject matter like this should hit home, but this book didn’t at all. The story felt too rushed to have the emotional impact it was clearly meant to have.
No character had enough time dedicated to them to be able to truly feel anything for them. Usually I walk away from a book feeling like the characters are real people, but not one character in this book felt fleshed out. And there was a LOT of characters.
The dramatic coming together at the end felt pretty much pointless and wasn’t well done at all. Not a well written book at all, which is a shame because this could have been an impactful and important read.

Finally a REAL book! There’s no sugarcoating in this book, it’s a truly honest contemporary interpretation of real civil war and conflict, and the impact on different people from different walks of life that can be involved. The characters are well developed considering the book isn’t too long, and I grew attached to each of them in different ways.
And WHAT AN ENDING. It was eluded to from the start so was fairly predictable, but it still hit me hard! Only reason it’s not getting 5⭐️ is that I didn’t feel hooked, I never got that ‘I can’t put this book down’ feeling, but I think that is in the nature of a book like this!

Really enjoyed this novel and what it taught me about refugee camps and the administration/running of them: the dilemmas and moral conundrums. The different characters' voices are established early on and switching between their varying perspectives really gives the novel momentum as the climax approaches. I particularly enjoyed the voice of Saleema, a refugee, and the strength she displays, but all the voices are credible as are their connections to the refugee camp. I wouldn't normally have picked up a novel like this but I'm really glad I did.

A powerful, insightful and devastating work.
I read Musty's first novel and loved the subtle portrayals of character and beautiful details that added so much.
This book is even better. I was not prepared for how much it affected me, the rage and the sadness that it evoked. It speaks a sometime difficult truth where people are so often silent and picks apart the madness of a situation with humour, compassion but unrelenting clarity.

For me this book has everything- a thought provoking plot with twists and turns, characters you love and some you hate, and a rollercoaster of emotions. It's incredible the author can hold such challenging topics with the sensitivity and respect they deserve at the same time as providing entertainment and humour.
A powerful and necessary read in these times of political instability and turmoil.

This is a beautifully written, emotionally rich story set in a refugee camp, where the lives of a washed-up rock star, aid workers, children, and grieving survivors intersect.
Emma Musty tackles displacement, guilt, and human connection with quiet power and compassion. Her experience in refugee advocacy clearly informs the novel, but the writing never feels preachy or didactic. Her story invites empathy without demanding it. A wonderful book.

A non-preachy novel about one of the most contentious issues of our time: collusion, compromise, corruption, complexity and complacency within the world’s response to the refugee crisis.

It was an ok read. took some time to reel me in, but once it did, the storyline gradually unfolded, offering a thought-provoking journey on how we as individuals cope with personal struggles and our collective efforts to address broader challenges. It's a short read that prompts deep thoughts about global issues and how charities work. I didn’t like the ending.

Second Book of Emma Musty. Second amazing novel.
Non-preachy and down to earth, Emma manages to portray six strangers, six lives coming together in an unnamed refugee camp.
Waiting for the next one!!

Another fantastic novel from Emma Musty. This book is a darker read than her debut "The Exile & The Mapmaker", but is equally compelling and thought provoking. I was very quickly drawn in by the characters and their stories, and found myself staying up late reading every night. Highly recommended.
May 27, 2022
I really loved this book. Such powerful issues of our time and human nature are explored and wrestled with. Fast paced, insightful and unexpected and starkly looks some devastating truths in the eye. An important read.
May 28, 2024
Although I enjoyed this book, it didn't quite resonate in the same way as Musty's first novel, "The Exile and the Mapmaker" did. The story of a famous pop star, with a past, and his plans to visit a refugee camp on behalf of a charity, introduces a number of characters with something in common.

This built very slowly and took a while to become engaging and for the threads to emerge and develop their own narrative weight. The ending was predictable, and horrific.
Problems like these are just so insurmountable.

A touching and important novel that astutely critiques the humanitarian sector while recognising and exploring the complexity of the lives and emotions of those within it.
April 24, 2022
At less than 300 pages it’s a short tale that packs a powerful punch.
It tells the story of a refugee camp from the point of view of the children living there, the staff of charity who run it, a volunteer, a journalist and Barry Knight, an aging rockstar who is visiting the camp in the hope to revamp his somewhat troubled public image.
Although generally quite a bleak subject matter this book manages to inject humour and heart and leaves you feeling for each of the characters and their stories. It’s such an important book that shows all sides of war and what really goes on (it felt particularly poignant with what is going on in Ukraine at the moment).
“We were children, we still are, and just because life has led us down paths that have altered our childhoods it doesn’t make them any less real.”

An enjoyable read, I really like that this included a variety of subjects, but it wasn’t done in a patronising way and the author has covered this well.
So many interesting characters! I will be adding the authors debut to my TBR

An alcoholic, troubled rock star. And a man whose life was hit by the action of the rock star in the past. A CEO of a charity for war orphans and her ex-partner. A joirnalist. A girl living in a refugee camp.
They all have their own reasons to come and be at the refugee camp where their lives collide as a war erupts towards the ending of the book.
I was a bit perplexed by the ending at first. It was so quick that it was almost as if the story was just cut off suddenly. But then I realised that the point of the book is to show how the world (as a collective society) is not cooperating and that led to this tragic ending.
This makes the book’s ending a realistic one. It’s very harsh, but that is the reality of this world and its impact on people’s lives. It’s thought-provoking and eye-opening. I think it’s important to recognise the harsh reality especially at times like now with recent development in Europe. So the ending that seems incomplete is appropriate and right. Because the issues are not solved or even improved in the world yet.
I personally prefer a narrative that feels more complete when I read a novel, but I can certainly appreciate this book being our wake-up call to realise how dysfunctional things are and we must start working together better on a global scale.

RAW AND UNFLINCHING
Wow! I really believe The Bones of Barry Knight may be one of the most powerful books I have ever read. Although a fairly short novel (just over 250 pages), every word is thought-provoking and full of meaning.
The second novel from author Emma Musty, The Bones of Barry Knight is a contemporary novel focusing on an a refugee camp in an unamend country. It is VERY CONTEMPORARY as it depicts the impact of war on everyday people. It is raw and unflinching. It is also full of poignant beauty.
I really believe this is a novel that will stay with me.
