SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION

Dear stranger . . . Are you home? Do you feel at home? For how much longer?

Across the world the number of refugees and exiles, the dispossessed and displaced, the politically homeless
and the economically excluded is growing.

Now, Ece Temelkuran, who has for years been a political Cassandra, warning the West about the rise of fascism,
has written Nation of Strangers: a series of letters from one stranger to another. It is a book for anyone who feels
alienated by an ever-more monstrous world, and a roadmap for an uncertain future.
