Krátky popis
'A compassionate, beautifully told portrait' GUY GUNARATNE'This is
absorbing, witty, eloquent fiction, as well as a trenchant
political critique' TOM BENN'A hymn to empathy, alive with care and
love' REBECCA WATSON'A heartbreaking, honest, and deeply important
story' JYOTI PATELJamila Shah is twenty-nine and exhausted. An
immigration solicitor tasked with running the precious family law
firm, Jamila is prone to being woken in the middle of the night by
frantic phone calls from clients on the cusp of deportation.
Working under the shadow of the government's 'hostile environment',
she constantly prays and hopes that their 'determinations' will
result in her clients being allowed to stay.With no time for
friends, family or even herself (never mind a needy partner),
Jamila's life feels hectic and out of control. Then a breakdown of
sorts forces her to seek change - to pursue her own happiness while
navigating the endless expectations that the world seems to have of
her, and still committing herself to a career devoted to helping
others. In this polyphonic, assured and character-driven debut, we
meet the staff of Shah &,amp, Co Solicitors, who themselves
arrived in the UK not too long ago, and their clients, more recent
arrivals who are made to jump through hoops to create a life for
themselves whilst trying to achieve some semblance of normality.
