The Year of the Runaways by Sunjeev Sahota

 

This is the story of the difficult lives of four Indian immigrants in Sheffield.
At times is a stressful book to read, but relevant and necessary story. Everything about the book is depressing - the characters, their desperation, the futility of their dreams and the shocking realities they find themselves in, in land they're not fully familiar with.
There is however too much description and mundane background details.
I couldn't really get into the stories of any of the main characters to any great depth and struggled care about their hardships the way I did in A Little Life.
