Bøker i Peirene Now!-serien

The editors have taken nine refugees, taught them the basics of creative writing, and asked them to tell their "Shatila Stories". The result is a miracle - a piece of collaborative fiction unlike any other. If you want to understand the chaos of the Middle East - or you just want to follow the course of a beautiful love story - start here.

The eight short stories in breach explore the refugee crisis through fiction. Dlo and Jan break into refrigerated trucks bound for the UK. Marjorie, a volunteer, is happy to mingle in the camp until her niece goes a step too far. Mariam lies to her mother back home. With humour, insight and empathy breach tackles an issue we can no longer ignore.
