Booker Shortlister from 2015
Sunjeev Sahota's brilliant political novel explores the dreams and struggles of an unlikely household in a warm celebration of the human spirit.
Thirteen young men live in a house in Sheffield, each in flight from India and in desperate search of a new life. Tarlochan, a former rickshaw driver, will say nothing about his past in Bihar; Avtar has a secret that binds him to protect the chaotic Randeep. As for Randeep, he has a visa-wife in a flat on the other side of town: a clever, devout woman whose cupboards are full of her husband's clothes, in case the immigration men surprise her with a call.
