Description
Dalila is a powerful and thought-provoking novel about one woman's struggle for safety and dignity in a world filled with tragedy. With a brutally violent personal history, Irene Dalila Mwathi flees her home country to start anew in London, only to find herself facing new dangers and uncertainties. As she navigates the complexities of her new life, Dalila confronts the harsh realities of immigration and asylum-seekers, raising uncomfortable questions about how we treat the vulnerable and dispossessed. Written with great literary power, this spell-binding novel is a slow-burning exploration of one woman's plight that will leave its readers deeply affected. Through a gripping narrative, Jason Donald sheds light on the difficult issues at the heart of Dalila, creating a necessary tale for our times.
