I was interested in exploring how my characters could perceive and react to the same incident in different ways, and wanted to probe the potential this difference holds to irrevocably alter their relationships.

‘It's a great story with multiple themes that tackles migration, language and displacement, with the vulnerability that relates universally. It's a very human story, and from the very first time that I read it, it stayed with me, as it still does even now.’
