Description
A powerful and timely novel that explores the complexities of immigration and xenophobia. Set against the backdrop of a real-life refugee crisis, No More Boats tells the story of a family whose lives are forever changed by the events unfolding around them. As the media's portrayal of the situation manipulates public opinion, one man's sense of identity is torn apart. His life, once defined by work and family, is now threatened by the very systems he once relied on for security. This riveting story delves into the human cost of protectionism, racism, and the precariousness of the working poor. With its thought-provoking themes and nuanced characters, No More Boats offers a haunting and compassionate portrayal of a modern family's struggles in the face of adversity.
