Choose Love

Across the globe, over 122 million people have been displaced. In a world increasingly divided by borders and nationality, the charity Choose Love was founded to support and provide humanitarian aid to those in need.

In this powerful collection, ten acclaimed writers speak to people who have experienced displacement and the UK asylum system, reflecting on pivotal moments in their lives when love was transformed into action. From unexpected friendships to life-changing encounters, these stories reveal the profound impact simple acts of kindness can have on those trying to make a home in a new land. Each one is a testament to the enduring human spirit.

Edited by Inua Ellams, and featuring work by Yomi Adegoke, Guy Gunaratne, Sabrina Mahfouz, Dawn O'Porter, Bohdan Piasecki, Max Porter, Monika Radojevic, Nikesh Shukla and Tania Tay.
