Enjoyable overall. But a bit sad and depressing throughout. It is a present day story of a young African refugee who leaves Africa and illegally enters the UK. She spends her first two years in a refugee prison, then upon release calls the one person she knows--the young couple who happened to encounter evils happening to her and her family in Africa.The story is quite sad, with lots of death and depression. After calling the husband following her release the reader finds out that he commits suicide the next day, and she shows up on the doorstep the day of his funeral.
The story had some potential, but I found some of the information superfluous, and the ending just kept going and going and going, and I really disliked how the author finally chose to end it.
