About this book
In a near-future Britain, Idir sits a citizenship examination, hoping to secure a place for himself and his family. The questions seem straightforward until the room becomes the setting for a terrifying crisis. Suddenly, choosing an answer means making decisions about other people's lives, and good intentions offer no reliable guide. This tightly compressed novella uses the framework of a test to explore belonging, prejudice, responsibility, and the limits of moral certainty. The prose is direct and the tension immediate. It is a disturbing, thought-provoking read whose real puzzle is what anyone can fairly demand of another person.
