The Year of the Runaways by Sunjeev Sahota
In the north of England, a group of young Indian immigrants struggle to begin something new--to support their families; to build their futures; to show their worth; to escape their pasts. An epic for our times, The Year of the Runaways is a stunning work of fiction that explores what it means and what it costs to make a new life, the capaciousness of the human spirit, and the power of humanity in the face of unspeakable suffering.

His debut novel, Ours are the Streets, was called 'Nothing short of extraordinary' Observer; 'A moral work of real intelligence and power' The Times. He is one of Granta's Best of British Novelists 2013.
