\'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 OkojieNur 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.
