Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The Seers tells the story of an Eritrean refugee in London, moving between past and present to explore intergenerational histories and the UK asylum system. The novel grapples with how agency is given to the sexual lives of refugees, insisting that the erotic and intimate side of life is as much a part of someone's story as land and nations.
