Publisher Description
When Silvia’s country falls apart after a coup, she flees to London. Picked up by the police, she is dumped for weeks in a bed-and-breakfast, then rescued by cold intellectuals. She finds she is a nuisance to one side and a cause to the other - until she meets another, earlier, refugee; and then she has a surprise for everyone.

Empathy for the immigrant
With plenty of gratuitous sex and violence, one of the worst books I have actually completed this year. Author does show empathy for the plight of immigrants who find themselves in a bewildering new world that neither respects nor values them but misses opportunities to explore the emotional trauma experienced by Silvia in preference to sex. I guess that sells books, but not to me, I skip that part.
