A novel about leaving home and starting over.
If you believe that you will never become an asylum seeker, think again. Catastrophe can turn a comfortable life inside out and leave any one of us stranded, dependent on the kindness of strangers - or vulnerable to their cruelty - as the characters in this sensuous and moving novel discover...
Set in a mining town in the Australian outback, 'Nights In The Asylum' is the story of a collision between Aziz, an Afghan refugee on the run from detention, and Miri, a woman lost in her own life. Miri flees from her grief at her daughter's death, and her husband's infidelity, to her Cuban grandmother's old house, in a town where outsiders, and any hint of eccentricity, are viewed with suspicion. When Zett Moran arrives, her baby in tow, seeking refuge from her abusive policeman husband, it sparks off a chain of events that will disturb their already fragile peace.
