~ Standard Hardcover ~ CBC Canada Reads Winner - 2016 Fast-moving and compelling, The Illegal weaves a complex moral and psychological web that addresses the fate of an undocumente d refugee who struggles to survive in a nation that does not want him. Hill’s depiction of life on the borderlands of society urges us to consider the plight of the unseen and the forgotten who live among us. "The narrative structure of The Illegal is artful and suspenseful, the themes it addresses timely and prescient. Most of all, it is a thrilling story that paints a rich portrait of complex experiences too often reduced to a single media image." -- Winnipeg Free Press Show more
