'Superb. An incandescent, charged and propulsive work. I inhaled this collection. It's a testament to Sunny Singh's considerable talents as a writer' Irenosen Okojie

Nur and Abid relearn to love after they escape from war. Marie, who keeps the women of the village from giving birth to children borne of war, finds herself in a situation she hasn't faced before. In a London park, an ageing MI-6 official discovers that the woman he meets every day may not be what she seems. Lyndsey's bouquets of twenty-seven tulips hold the secret of her dark past and a soldier adorns herself in jewels as she prepares for a final mission.

Spanning both decades and continents, Refuge turns its lens on those who are often overlooked in stories about war: women and children, civilians forced out of their homes in terror, those who wait for their brave soldiers to come home, and soldiers who commit unspeakable violence. this powerful collection simultaneously delves into the darkest parts of the human psyche whilst being an ode to humanity's ability to endure, love and retain dignity and compassion.

Recenzijos

These stories reveal the many sides of war, drawing attention to its unrelenting toll, while also illuminating a quiet dignity that persists in moments of compassion and resilience. An essential collection that reminds us of an enduring hope in our humanity. -- Guy Gunaratne, author of IN OUR MAD AND FURIOUS CITY and MISTER, MISTER Superb. An incandescent, charged and propulsive work. I inhaled this collection. It's a testament to Sunny Singh's considerable talents as a writer -- Irenosen Okojie, author of NUDI BRANCH In terrible times, our storytellers need to be tender and steely; Singh is this kind of writer, a necessary interlocutor between evil and possibility. We must read stories just like this in these times: small, beautiful, tough ways to remember love despite the wickedness. Sunny Singh shows us awful and beautiful realities with an uncompromisingly steely eye: there are terrible things here, necessary truths and unremitting heart. -- Leone Ross, author of THIS ONE SKY DAY
