The Year of the Runaways

Telling 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.

Sweeping between India and England, and between childhood and the present day, Sunjeev Sahota’s generous, unforgettable novel is a story of dignity in the face of adversity and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit.

“The Year of the Runaways is a brilliant and beautiful novel.” The Guardian
