What happens
when you suddenly find yourself an unwanted foreigner?
Tess and Arlo
have made a happy life on St Mira. But the island is not immune to the forces
reshaping the world. When a far-right government surges to power, foreigners
are their first target. It's time for Tess and Arlo to leave. But what if it's
too late?
The Accidental
Immigrants is
political fiction based on the facts of the years since Brexit: the fallout
from the referendum, the rise of the far right, and the increasing xenophobia
towards people on the move. Set on an island that's a mirror image of Britain,
it's both allegory and warning, and a poignant, prescient tale for our times
about the dangers facing us all.
