Om denne bog

Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.

Sweeping between India and England, from childhood and the present day. Sunjeev Sahota''s unforgettable novel about illegal immigrants is a story of dignity in the face of adversity. For fans of Rohinton Mistry''s A Fine Balance.

''The Grapes of Wrath for the 21st century'' – Washington Post

The Year of the Runaways tells of the bold dreams and daily struggles of an unlikely family thrown together by circumstance.

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. Randeep, in turn, 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.

''A writer who knows how to make you stay up late at night to learn what happens next . . . a brilliant and beautiful novel'' – author of Home Fire, Kamila Shamsie, Guardian
