Description
"Without papers, without a country, you are not a boy with a name. You are only a number."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 Refugee No. 566, he flees across the sea to India - only to find himself caged again, reduced to a statistic in a crowded camp.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: Who am I, when I belong nowhere?Lyrical, unflinching, and profoundly human, Refugee No. 566 is a powerful work of literary historical fiction that gives voice to the nameless and forgotten. Perfect for readers of The Kite Runner, A Fine Balance, and stories of displacement and resilience.
