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; and 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSweeping between India and England, and between childhood and the present day, Sunjeev Sahota's generous, unforgettable novel is - as with Rohinton Mistry's A Fine Balance - a story of dignity in the face of adversity and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42973703700646,"sku":"9781447241669","price":19.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/9781447241669_001-page2.jpg?v=1656048754","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/the-year-of-the-runaways-9781447241669","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
