About this listen

The Year of the Runaways tells of the bold dreams and daily struggles of an unlikely family thrown together by circumstance. Thirteen young men live in a house in Sheffield, each in flight from India and in search of a new life.

Avtar has a secret that binds him to protect the choatic Randeep. Randeep has a visa wife in a flat on the other side of town. And Tarlochan, a former rickshaw driver, will say nothing about his past in Bihar.

"All you can do is surrender, happily, to its power." (Salman Rushdie)

Most relevant  
this is a gritty novel. Which I found difficult to stop listening to. I love our debt, in-depth the character betrayal is. Some of the Indian terms for things I am not sure of.
The characters really struggled, and you are sort of begging them to improve their lives

riveting tale
