Refugee No. 566 - Beyond Borders; Beyond Names

<p><em>Without papers without a country you are not a boy with a name. You are only a number.</em></p><p>In the shadow of Sri Lanka's Black July riots a young Tamil boy loses his home his childhood and even his name. Branded only as <strong>Refugee No. 566</strong> he flees across the sea to India - only to find himself caged again reduced to a statistic in a crowded camp.</p><p>From the plantation lines of Lanka to the barbed-wire fences of Rameswaram this is a story of exile hunger survival and the aching search for dignity. Torn between pride and desperation haunted by faith's silence and driven by memories of a girl with a red ribbon 566 struggles to answer the question that defines every refugee: <em>Who am I when I belong nowhere?</em></p><p>Lyrical unflinching and profoundly human <strong>Refugee No. 566</strong> is a powerful work of literary historical fiction that gives voice to the nameless and forgotten. Perfect for readers of <em>The Kite Runner</em> <em>A Fine Balance</em> and stories of displacement and resilience.</p>
