Join Tara as she talks to Ripon Ahmed about Sunjeev Sahota's phenomenal novel "The Year of the Runaways".   This is a wonderful book and we had such a brilliant discussion about migration, generational changes, aspiration, survival, access to healthcare, attitudes to mental illness, homelessness, families, caste, class and discrimination among many many other things.  The Year of the Runaways is a superb exploration of experiences which are all too real for some of our most vulnerable patients.

There are a couple of great interviews with the author about the book here:
