Twenty years earlier Anya escaped from Sarajevo and the idea of security is as alien now as it was then. When social convention forces Anya to return, the past she sought to contain resurfaces, and the hot summer builds to a startling climax. Lean, sly and unsettling, Asylum Road is about the many borders governing our lives: between men and women, assimilation and otherness, nations, families, order and chaos. From the author of "Sympathy".
