Everyone Walks Away (HB)

Author(s): Eva Lindstrom

Early Experiences & Issues

Everyone Walks Away is a beautiful, multi-layered book about loneliness, exclusion, and belonging.


Frank feels lonely when everyone walks away. It's the same as always. But once home, he makes a special jam then invites other people. Maybe they'll come over.


This is a one-of-a-kind book from an open-ended, leading international artist.

Product Information

“The people are so small on the large spreads, the surroundings are diffuse, the colours melancholic. Even the objects are on their own. Leaves drop like tears. A gate, a fence, a cul-de-sac; all become barriers, excluding. There’s not a word, not a detail too many.”
