This narrative follows two refugee families-one Syrian and one South Sudanese-as they pursue safety and a new life in England. After escaping conflict in their home countries, Adamu Girgis and Ricky Zola reach England through dangerous routes and begin planning for their wives and children to join them. The story alternates between the parallel journeys of Sarah Girgis and her two children traveling from Aleppo to Calais, and Rama Zola and her child traveling from Nairobi to Calais, with each stage portrayed as a gamble shaped by risk and uncertainty. As both women move from one leg of the journey to the next, their hope of reuniting with their husbands grows. Upon reaching Calais, joy and anticipation peak, as the families feel closer than ever to ending years of separation. The final stage-crossing the Channel together in Boat 16-represents the ultimate risk, likened to a final throw of the dice. During the crossing toward Dover, the women dream aloud about their future in England, overcome with emotion as land comes into view. Yet, just minutes from their destination, a dramatic and unsettling event interrupts their hopes. The fictional but socio-realistic narrative highlights the extreme dangers refugees face in their search for safety and a better life.

Über den Autor Albert I. Corban

Albert Isaiah Corban is a Barrister and member of the Bar of England and Wales, as well as a practicing solicitor. He is the author of several published novels, including Hostile Milieu (2021), A Migrant's Dilemma (2024), The Asylum Seekers (2025), Channel Crossing Refugees (2025), and The Migrants (2026). His latest work, The Deportees, continues his exploration of migration, displacement, and the human condition. Born into a lineage tracing back to the Beta Israel-whose ancestors migrated from Ethiopia before settling in present-day Benin City, Nigeria-his heritage has profoundly shaped his intellectual and creative pursuits. His writing is deeply informed by themes of identity, migration, justice, and belonging. In addition to his legal training, he holds academic degrees in English, Philosophy, Theology, and Divinity. His multidisciplinary background enriches both his legal practice and literary voice. He has achieved notable distinction in legal practice, particularly in immigration and asylum law, successfully representing clients in complex appeals, including before the European Court of Human Rights. His work reflects a sustained commitment to the protection of fundamental rights and access to justice. Earlier in his career, he lectured in English at a university in Nigeria and later served as a Home Office Presenting Officer, representing the Secretary of State for the Home Department in immigration and asylum proceedings. His interests include documentary filmmaking, history, travel, public speaking, writing, and advocacy for equality and social justice. He is based in London.
