Publisher Review

"Full of powerful writing. Many of the best contributions come from writers who are refugees, or second-generation refugees, themselves ... Again and again, these writers argue for empathy." * TLS * "A powerful, and frequently harrowing, collection ... I read it with fascination" -- Penelope Lively "A beautiful insight into the painful individuality of the refugee" -- Jon Snow "A first-class collection of essays and poems, stories and memoirs. Addictively readable, they are strong, angry, compassionate and enlightening." -- Sue Gaisford * The Tablet * "It is a moving, poignant, sometimes painful but always enlightening book ... rich and wide-ranging..." -- Judith Vidal-Hall * Literary Review *
