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.
