Sirocco Express
Synopsis
Sirocco Express is a powerful novel of journey, discovery and how to be human in an increasingly inhuman world. Adebayo, a young Nigerian, leaves his home in Lagos and embarks on an extraordinarily difficult journey to try to discover a better life in Europe.
Abebayo soon finds himself in a shockingly unfamiliar and dangerous world, peopled by human traffickers, smugglers and desperado companions. The only way to survive is to use his native wit and trust his instincts.
In Sirocco Express, readers accompany Adebayo on a journey risking great danger and death, as he discovers how truly brutal the people-smuggling business really is.
Adebayo's journey continues when he reaches his geographical destination. His life in London is full of ups and downs and dangerous secrets, all brought to a sharply twisted, satisfying conclusion.
“William Faulkner and poet Emily Dickinson or Robert Frost had a true craft for writing descriptive, yet simple, images that stay with you long after you’ve finished reading. Judge indeed has that craft.” – Lulu Book Review
