Subhi is a refugee. Born in an Australian permanent detention
centre after his mother fled the violence of a distant homeland,
life behind the fences is all he's ever known. Now his imagination
is pushing at the limits of his world. One day, Jimmie appears on
the other side of the fence, bringing a notebook written by the
mother she lost. Unable to read it, she relies on Subhi to unravel
her own family's mysterious and moving history. Together, Subhi and
Jimmie must find a way to freedom, and they must be braver than
they've ever been before... The Bone Sparrow, Zana Fraillon's
powerful and deeply moving novel about the displacement and
treatment of refugees and sanctuary seekers, has been widely read
and studied around the world since its publication in 2017. This
enthralling stage adaptation by award-winning Australian playwright
S. Shakthidharan was first produced on a UK tour in 2022 by Pilot
Theatre with York Theatre Royal, Derby Theatre, Belgrade Theatre,
Coventry, and Mercury Theatre Colchester. Also included is a range
of teaching materials and resources designed to help educators
bring the play to life for their students. Praise for the novel,
The Bone Sparrow: 'With an affecting and distinctive narrative
voice... [Zana Fraillon] builds a convincing and complete world.
Moving and memorable, The Bone Sparrow deserves to be read by all
who care about our common humanity' Guardian 'A heartrending tale
about how our stories make us, and also an angry polemic, vividly
convincing in its detailed description of what it means for your
home to be a tent in the dust behind a guarded fence' Sunday Times
'This is a tragic, beautifully crafted and wonderful book whose
chirpy, stoic hero shames us all' Independent Winner of the Amnesty
CILIP Honour Award Shortlisted for the Carnegie Award and the
Guardian Children's Fiction Prize
