Description

The Yardley family's world is fragmenting. Eighteen years since their move to Brussels, the future hangs uncertainly over Neil, Marcy, and their three children. As they navigate their own worries, they fail to see how much their middle child, Alec, is struggling. When Marcy offers shelter to a young Syrian refugee, it sets off a chain of events that affects every member of the family. Against a backdrop of growing terror threats and Europe's worst refugee crisis since the Second World War, Misplaced Persons explores the consequences of miscues and misunderstandings. The book astutely examines the strength of family bonds and the meaning of home in the face of uncertainty. As tensions rise, the Yardleys are forced to confront their own assumptions and biases. With subtlety and flair, Susan Beale reveals the complexities of modern life, where the lines between right and wrong are often blurred.
