In the north of England, a group of young Indian immigrants struggle to begin something new--to support their families; to build their futures; to show their worth; to escape their pasts. An epic for our times, The Year of the Runaways is a stunning work of fiction that explores what it means and what it costs to make a new life, the capaciousness of the human spirit, and the power of humanity in the face of unspeakable suffering.

Review:
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize A Washington Post and Boston Globe Best Book of the Year "Deeply affecting. . . . No recent novel does a more powerful job of capturing the day-to-day lives of . . . immigrants." --The New York Times "Masterful. . . . Not only a timely book, but a gut-wrenching, emotionally honest one, as well." --NPR "A major achievement. . . . Sahota is a clear-eyed, unflinching storyteller." --The New Yorker
"The Grapes of Wrath for the 21st century. . . . Sahota has captured the plight of millions of desperate people struggling to find work, to eke out some semblance of a decent life in a world increasingly closed-fisted and mean." --The Washington Post "[A] sprawling, stunning novel." --Minneapolis Star Tribune "Sahota's superb novel helps to make the reality of migrants a little less unimaginable and a little more human." --The Wall Street Journal
