'I have just finished Sanctuary by Tom Gaisford. And I have whiplash from all those twists. A superb accomplishment. Sanctuary is compellingly written and bursting with humanity. A triumph. Highly recommended.' - The Secret Barrister

What possesses someone to claim asylum in his own country?

Alex Donovan is a young refugee lawyer in crisis. Helping desperate clients reach safety is what gives his job meaning. But now he finds himself demoted, signed off sick for stress and facing redeployment to the firm's subterranean billing department. Then there is Amy, the woman he adores. The irresistible junior barrister seems to be drifting away from him. With little to lose and all to prove, Alex dreams up a madcap plan to restore his honour and secure Amy's affection. But is anything quite as it seems.

At its heart, Sanctuary is a story about purpose, love and what happens when both begin to slip away—a satirical, romantic thriller that enthralls, enlightens and builds to a twist that sends you spinning back to page one.

I really enjoyed listening to this book, which explores the important and relevant subject of our asylum system through a clever, thought-provoking story. I was invested in the characters from the start - helped no doubt by Tom’s wonderful narration, which he delivers beautifully.

A very thought-provoking and clever story with some humorous touches
