NIGHT OF POWER

• A compassionate, utterly absorbing upmarket book club novel for readers of A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza and Shilpi Somaya Gowda (Secret Daughter, The Golden Son), Night of Power examines the emotional burdens and generational trauma of refugees, in a much-needed perspective on what is lost – and gained– when we try to recreate home.

• An heir to a once successful business empire fallen from grace, Mansoor Visram and his young family are forced to flee their home after Uganda begins a crackdown on its South Asian population – years later, in 1998, his son Ashif is a rising star in a multinational firm, having spent years distancing himself from his overbearing father and working to provide a comfortable simple life for his mother Layla – all the while, Mansoor continues to work on his dreams of raising the Visrams back into their old position of prominence.
