These are the stories of migration – the story of a Jamaican woman who remembers the Anansi stories of her childhood; of the Hindu woman who likens her native Poona to her new home in Leicester; of the woman from the Sudan “who was eight when the soldiers came”; of the Ukrainian who has lived in exile for fifty years; and of the prisoner who has stayed in seventeen towns but never set foot in one of them.

Kevin Fegan too is a migrant, from an Irish family who came to the Midlands for want of work. His story is here too.
