Most Anticipated of 2020 'An immigrant's view conveyed with
authority and wit . . . Adiga is a startlingly fine observer, and a
complicator, in the manner of V.S. Naipaul.' New York Times From
the bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of The White Tiger and
Selection Day, Aravind Adiga, comes the story of an undocumented
immigrant who becomes the only witness to a crime and must face an
impossible moral dilemma. Danny - Dhananjaya Rajaratnam - is an
undocumented immigrant in Sydney, denied refugee status after he
has fled from his native Sri Lanka. Working as a cleaner, living
out of a grocery storeroom, for three years he's been trying to
create a new identity for himself. And now, with his beloved vegan
girlfriend, Sonja, with his hidden accent and highlights in his
hair, he is as close as he has ever come to living a normal
Australian life. But then one morning, Danny learns a female client
of his has been murdered. When Danny recognizes a jacket left at
the murder scene, he believes it belongs to another of his clients
- a doctor with whom he knows the woman was having an affair.
Suddenly Danny is confronted with a choice: come forward with his
knowledge about the crime and risk being deported, or say nothing,
and let justice go undone? Over the course of a single day,
evaluating the weight of his past, his dreams for the future, and
the unpredictable, often absurd reality of living invisibly and
undocumented, he must wrestle with his conscience and decide if a
person without rights still has responsibilities. Suspenseful,
propulsive, and full of Aravind Adiga's signature wit and magic,
Amnesty is both a timeless moral struggle and a universal story
with particular urgency today.
