Of Human Folly is a compelling novel set against the backdrop of climate change. It follows the lives of a group of people in remote northern England as they try to come to terms with their changing worlds and their personal crises. “As urgent as Silent Spring.”

Short stories for a modern age. From the story of a young adult leaving home, to the tale of an older man seeing his daily routine slowly changed by a brief encounter, these stories are individually insightful and collectively thought provoking. “Superb and moving.”

This is a novel about a journey, both physical and emotional. Noor and Raheen are fleeing the war in Syria to seek their relatives in the UK. Trying to understand not just what they are running from but what they are running towards, this is a tale that is “impressive on many levels.” Taking some of its inspiration from texts such as A Thousand and One Nights and Journey to the West, it is an interweaving story of what can be achieved through friendship and determination. “A literary page turner…superb…” the book shows the very best and the worst of human nature, but is an ultimately uplifting novel that puts its faith in humanity.
