The Guardian has called The Year of the Runaways, the second novel by Man Booker Prize nominee Sunjeev Sahota, a "brilliant political novel about migrant workers in Sheffield." It tells the story of three young men and one woman who immigrate from India to England each with their own hopes, plans and ambitions -- and nearly no idea of what awaits them.
Events: Sunjeev Sahota will be in conversation with Dinaw Mengestu on Saturday, April 30th at 2:00 p.m. at BookCourt (163 Court Street, Brooklyn).
Also on Saturday, April 30th, he'll be in conversation with John Freeman at 7:00 pm at McNally Jackson (52 Prince Street).
