An evocative story of hope that reminds us everyone has a story to tell, wherever they come from. Long ago, the animals befriended a strange-looking creature who arrived from nowhere with a suitcase containing a teacup and a photograph of home. The stranger soon found sanctuary and calm. Now, there is a new mysterious stranger who they are sure is nothing but a thief! It’s only when everything goes wrong that they realise that things may not be as simple as they think.

Across the world the number of refugees and exiles, the dispossessed and displaced, the politically homeless and the economically excluded is growing. In the decade since she left her own home, Ece Temelkuran has been a political Cassandra, warning those convinced it couldn’t happen in their country that fascism is coming. Now, as oppression spreads and temperatures rise – as we face competing crises and learn, again and again, that no institution is so concrete it can’t turn to dust, and no home is too strong to be destroyed – she has written ‘Nation of Strangers’, a series of letters from one stranger to another. Politically attuned and deeply personal, this extraordinary, heartening correspondence is a gift to treasure in uncertain times.
