Description
Danny, an undocumented immigrant from Sri Lanka, has spent four years trying to create a new identity for himself in Sydney. He works as a cleaner and lives out of a grocery storeroom. When his client Radha Thomas is murdered, Danny is faced with a difficult decision: come forward as a witness and risk being deported, or say nothing and let justice go undone. As he grapples with his conscience, Danny must consider whether a person without rights has responsibilities. The novel builds to a suspenseful climax over the course of an ordinary day. Amnesty is a story about moral struggle and universal themes that feel particularly urgent today. Aravind Adiga's signature wit and magic are on display in this gripping tale of immigration, identity, and justice.
