Safe Haven by Shankari Chandran

4.0

4.5 * An excellent book focussed on Sri Lankan asylum seekers detained in a detention centre on an Island of Australia. Action packed storyline told with empathy and heart. The characters are totally plausible and the picture painted of “not knowing” detainees as yet another form of torture is sickening and chastening. There is nothing humane about “detaining” asylum seekers. It is not and never will be humane. A must read book for our times.
