YOU PEOPLE - NIKITA LALWANI KARTONIERT (TB)

'A moving  authentic  humane novel which raises fundamental questions about what it means to be
kind in an unkind world ' Guardian   ____________________________________________   The
Pizzeria Vesuvio looks like any other Italian restaurant in London - with a few small
differences. The chefs who make the pizza fiorentinas are Sri Lankan  and half the kitchen
staff are illegal immigrants.   At the centre is Tuli  the restaurant's charismatic proprietor
and resident Robin Hood  who promises to help anyone in need. Welsh nineteen-year-old Nia 
haunted by her troubled past  is running from her family. Shan  having fled the Sri Lankan
civil war  is desperate to find his.  But when Tuli's guidance leads them all into dangerous
territory  and the extent of his mysterious operation unravels  each is faced with an
impossible moral choice.  In a world where the law is against you  how far would you be willing
to lie for a chance to live?   ____________________________________________   'Intelligent and
