Secret Gardens - Softcover

A well written and thought-provoking story which raises serious questions about asylum seekers and their children. David Belbin gets right to the heart of the issue. --Bali Rai

The style is simple and direct, as befits a story someone is supposed to be telling in his second language. This is in no way patronising; on the contrary it makes the story a great page-turner; but the simple language and short sentences will make the story more accessible for reluctant readers. --Southwell Folio
