Review:

‘A superb novel’ DAILY MAIL

‘A heartbreaking story, very powerfully dramatised’ THE TIMES

‘LITTLE EXILES ... it's knockout – Robert has his own unique voice and his own angle on an extraordinary period of history. It's just beautifully written and told with such emotional precision, with a character in Jon Heather who is completely beguiling and so worth fighting for. I really, really loved it. If I hadn't made Oranges and Sunshine I would definitely be thinking about its potential for screen' Jim Loach, Director of Oranges & Sunshine

‘Contemporary fiction doesn’t get much better than this. Little Exiles is the best kind of book... the plot is so good and so gripping in this superlative tale that putting down the book is almost a physical impossibility... Little Exiles is an exquisitely crafted must-read’
