Finalist in the 2019 International Book Awards

Based on the author's own experience, this novel gives a startlingly fresh and intimate perspective on how Western aid programs are failing Africa. It also shows, with blistering honesty, how one woman's life can be irrevocably changed by a sojourn in one of the most captivating and complex nations on earth.

Resistance: Voices of Exiled Writers

Contributing Editor

A collection of poetry and prose in celebration of 20 years of the organisation Exiled Writers Ink, Resistance: Voices of Exiled Writers, is an anthology dedicated to those resisting oppression in all its many forms and to those who died fighting for their just cause. This special book comprises one chapter for every year from 2000 to 2020. Each chapter represents an aspect of the organisation’s literary activism work and support for those resisting human rights abuse. From Kosova, Ethiopia and Afghanistan through Zimbabwe, the Uyghurs, Iran, Kurdistan and the Western Sahara, plus many other areas, and culminating with a chapter on #BlackLivesMatter, here are the voices of writers in exile, championing their causes and resisting the attempt of powerful groups to suppress the truth.
