Amnesty takes a very original take on the life of an "illegal". The narrative follows Danny, a young Sri Lankan who deliberately overstayed his visa and now resides in Sydney as invisibly as he can. He works as a cash in hand cleaner. One of his clients is murdered and he thinks he knows who is the murderer. His quandary is whether to talk to the police, a big no no for a non-person, or to live with his conscious.
His observations on Australians and racism, religion and the law is scarily accurate. His portrayal of life as an illegal is empathetic and believable. The book is full of witty observations, pointed barbs and sad truths. Its my highlight of 2020 reading so far.
