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 choatic 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. Sweeping between India and England, and between childhood and the present day, this generous, unforgettable novel is a story of dignity in the face of adversity and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit. 650 0 $a Young men $z Sheffield $z Sheffield $v Fiction. 650 0 $a East Indians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $v Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806024035.0 952 $l MIPA194 $d 20181221013822.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C708E8146B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
