Thousands flee central Wellington as a far too common 'once in a century' storm descends. Roads are closed and all rail is halted. For their own safety, city workers are told that they must go home early. Sita is a Tamil Sri Lankan refugee living in the Hutt Valley. She's just had a call from her boss. If she doesn't get to her cleaning job in the city she'll lose her contract. e novel charts the help and hindrances that make for a long, damp evening. But the book also highlights the kinds of care and solidarity that come out in times of need. Brannavan Gnanalingam's new novel combines his experiences as a Tamil-background kiwi growing up in the Hutt Valley with re ections on how refugees adapt to a new home. 'It's a love letter to Lower Hutt, it's an account of people who have been forgotten in New Zealand, and it's about a refugee persisting,' says Gnanalingam.
