The Certainties is a vivid, moving novel about the entwined fates of two very different refugees in two distinct moments: a war-torn Spanish border town in the 1940s; and a British island in the 1970s, as a ship full of would-be migrants approaches shore.
Aislinn Hunter will be in conversation with Thomas Trofimuk.
